About:

The tutorial video above shows the entire process. This is just for extra information and some sample code.
YouTube does not allow brackets in video descriptions, so it's here instead.
Make sure to watch the video on YouTube as the description has WAY more info!

CURL SAMPLE CODE:

#define CURL_STATICLIB
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

#include "curl/curl.h"

static size_t my_write(void* buffer, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void* param)
{
 std::string& text = *static_cast<std::string*>(param);
 size_t totalsize = size * nmemb;
 text.append(static_cast<char*>(buffer), totalsize);
 return totalsize;
}

int main()
{
 std::string result;
 CURL* curl;
 CURLcode res;
 curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_DEFAULT);
 curl = curl_easy_init();
 if (curl) {
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://tcno.co/hello.txt");
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, my_write);
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, &result);
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1L);
  res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
  curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  if (CURLE_OK != res) {
   std::cerr << "CURL error: " << res << '\n';
  }
 }
 curl_global_cleanup();
 std::cout << result << "\n\n";
}
