Radikant-Url-C is a simple, lightweight HTTP(S) client library written in C, specifically for macOS. It’s designed to be easy to integrate into C projects that need to fetch data from web URLs without the overhead of larger libraries. It's a clean, C-based wrapper around Apple's native CFNetwork and Secure Transport frameworks. Windows provide SChannel (Secure Channel) and WinHTTP, Linux comes with NSS, OpenSSL, libcurl etc. So for linux an adapter would required.

int main() {
    rurl_request_t* req;
    rurl_response_t* resp;
 
    // 1. Connectivity (Google)
    req = rurl_new("https://www.google.com");
    rurl_set_user_agent(req, BROWSER_AGENT);
    resp = rurl_perform(req);
    assert_test("Basic Connectivity (Google)",
    rurl_response_status_code(resp) == 200, resp);
    printf("       %s%s%s", CYAN, rurl_response_body(resp), RESET);
    rurl_response_free(resp);
    rurl_request_free(req);
