hashicorp plugin needs curl that we don't have on our Windows builders.
wlad, what can be done about it? install curl and package it? link with it statically? how will it affect C/C?

There are some options aside of libcurl I can think of

  • Windows builtin WinHTTP. Invoking an HTTP request with some custom headers, and read the response, is nothing very fancy, should be doable. AWS C++ SDK was doing that on Windows, instead of pulling curl as dependency
  • Invoke curl.exe, reading its response as string . Since 2018-ish curl.exe is part of Windows (i.e c:\Windows\System32\curl.exe)

but still, if we put curl.lib (or whatever it's called) and the headers on Windows builder, should that work? static linking with curl?
