gdownloader.h

/*
 * File: gdownloader.h
 * -------------------
 * A GDownloader can download data from URLs and save them to files or return
 * the data as a string.
 *
 * Note that because the downloader uses a pure-C++ implementation, your project
 * must include the 'network' component of Qt to function properly.
 * If you get errors when trying to connect to HTTPS URLs, you may also need to
 * install various SSL packages on your system, such as openssl, libssl-dev,
 * libssl1.0, and so on.  This varies by operating system.
 *
 * Based somewhat on this source:
 * https://wiki.qt.io/Download_Data_from_URL
 *
 * @author Marty Stepp
 * @version 2021/04/03
