How to use libcurl?

[crapcöder]

I'm using this library to communicate with the discord API, and it relies on luajit-request, which relies on libcurl. However, since I'm on Windows, which does not have libcurl pre-installed (or that's what i assume) like macOS, I need to install it myself. But on the libcurl website, there are like forty bajillion different things you could download, and I can't figure out which to get. Which one should i download? (i'm on windows 64-bit)

also if possible i would like it to be able to be inside my project, so people who use it don't have to install libcurl themselves.

If you have Windows 10, you may already have it (apparently, it's included with revision 1804 and later).

If you don't, the official download wizard for curl may help: https://curl.se/dlwiz/

You'll probably have to bundle libcurl.dll (or some file with a similar name) into your project if you want to distribute for older Windows.
