using libcurl to create a standalone site-polling program

I am creating a standalone (no DLLs) windows C/C++ program that uses HTTP POST to periodically send data to an HTTP server. I identified libCURL as the HTTP client library as it seems simple and reliable.

I still need to identify the environment (an IDE) which I can use to develop my project. My program has:

1. poller- which checks the status of the connection

2. a file writer when polled link is down

3. a component which POSTs the file when l开发者_Go百科ink is up

What is the appropriate IDE for this project? I heard endorsements for DevC++ and Visual C.

I am a newb to coding and this site. Pardon me if I am unclear in anything.

Any IDE will fit your need. Just install one of them and start coding.

Try CodeBlocks. It is light, more easy to work with and has more features than Dev C++.
