RESTful Client API in C++

Question

Is there any open source library available that implements RESTful Client(library for interpreting HTTP requests as REST service calls) in C++ ?

My requirement is to connect to Amazon Web Services and get the list of EC2 instances(and their details) available for given user account in C++.

I know Amazon provides API's for this in Java, C#. But I want in C++. If Amazon provides in C++ too, that would be fine, Please guide me.

Your help is much appreciated.

You need to parse XML. I suggest you try Qt C++ Toolkit it will give you a QHttp instance to make HTTP calls and QtXml module to parse the xml. This way you can create a C++ Rest Client.

You should try the ffead-cpp web framework. It has a host of other features like Dependency Injection, Serialization, Limited Reflection, JSON etc to name a few. Do check it out...
