Library cURL has a great example of using libyidy - htmltidy. This is good to see...
Needed a small patch to bring it up-to-date to use current HTACG Tidy!

It works perfectly for fetching a URL easily and effiently into a tidy buffer, which is passed to libtidy to clean up...
Of course this example only dumps the html node tree, but shows how smoothly a URL can be fetched with libcurl...
This project has a CMakeModules\FindTidy.cmake which searches for the above tidy.h, and libtidy. That is, it sets up the correct include paths, and target link libraries for the compile and link...
In Windows, it will first search for the static tidys.lib, to save having to set up access to the DLL each time the htmltidy.exe app is run. There is no windows installer that sets up a path to the tidy installed DLL, nor include paths...
Unfortunately, the cmake distributed FindCURL.cmake module has a search order that looks for the shared library first, and has the windows static libcurl.lib as last on the list.
It uses an order curl curllib libcurl_imp curllib_static libcurl. The libcurl_imp, which is the libcurl.dll is found in my installation before the static version libcurl last on the list...
My current installation is cURL version 7.35.0, January 29 2014, versus 7.45 on the site... maybe I need to do an update...
And will consider importing a FindCURL.cmake to this repo to allow more user control over this... maybe it could use a CURL_LIB_NAMES variable where the user can establish what they would prefer to have found first... or something...
But all in all a great example of the use of the two libraries...
