Subject: [Boost-users] Is there a straightforward Boost API for REST Web services calls
From: Adam J Cooper (adam_at_[hidden])

I am new to Boost and definitely still a novice with C++ in general.

I would like to use Amazon Web Services (AWS) with C++.

AWS supplies tookits (APIs) for .Net, Java, etc. However, they do not supply an API for C++.

Therefore, I believe the best way for me to interact with AWS using C++ will be with REST.

My rationale for wanting to use C++ is that I enjoy the flexibility and aesthetics of C++ and want to continue to find opportunities to learn and practice with it. (I do not have a specific application need and could use the AWS .Net API for my project if I needed to).

Having said that, I understand that Boost is one of the most highly-regarded add-on libraries for C++. Therefore, is there a Boost library that will EASILY allow me to make REST (get and post) calls? If not, can someone recommend another well-tested and widely used C++ library that would allow me to make such REST calls?

Thank you,
Adam
