HTTP is a continued pain point for C++ I find.

HTTP is a continued pain point for C++ I find. It falls in to an impossible valley of "too simple for anyone to have bothered writing a really good standalone library" and "too complex to write myself". I don't see anyone jumping at the chance to build a HTTP request state machine built on top of nothing but the standard library when the standard library has no standard solution for efficient asynchronous operations or task scheduling.
