Do you recommend any good library or examples online for implementing an HTTPS client that can connect to a website using basic authentication? This is meant to run in linux servers.

Any pointers help.

Update: Question about the unanimous libcurl - does it come bundled by default in major distributions like Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Slackware, RedHat and Arch?

libcurl supports both HTTPS and HTTP Basic Authentication. There's plenty of example code online.

All of the distributions you mention have libcurl packaged. It is not absolutely certain to be installed, but it is very common.
