Mucking Around with libcurl
Author: Sikosis | Filed under: Coding 3rd September, 2011 04:40 AM
So, thanks to HDU 2011, I've been getting back into dabbling with Haiku C++ coding whenever I've been able to get a spare moment.
In that spare time, I've managed to start work on a new project called HaikuSCP, an open source GUI front end to scp, with profiles and drag n drop file support.
For awhile I've wanted to do a Dropbox client for Haiku, so I started to have a crack at it and kept getting strange cert errors; I then decided perhaps, I should try an easier web service first.
I searched through a list of popular web services and soon sourced something relatively simple, bit.ly - the URL shortening service. With a couple of hours to nut out the libcurl functionality and a few more for the basic GUI, bitly was released to the public via Haikuware.
These releases are the first versions, so when I get more downtime you can expect future updates.
