Detailed Description

Thin RAII wrapper around libcurl_easy for application-side fetches.

Centralises the boilerplate that UpdateChecker and ISSTracker had each re-implemented: SSL verification, stop_token-driven xferinfo abort, GitHub rate-limit header parsing, and exponential backoff on retry.

The design is deliberately stateless — every Get() is independent — so callers can hold a single HttpClient instance for the lifetime of the app and share it across threads.

Get() [2/2]

HttpResponse MetaImGUI::HttpClient::Get	(	const HttpRequest &	request,
		const std::stop_token &	stopToken
	)		const

Issue a GET request, honouring stop_token cancellation.

Retries on HttpStatus::NetworkError up to request.maxRetries times, with exponential backoff (200ms, 400ms, 800ms, ...). Cancellation and rate-limit responses are returned immediately without retry — those aren't transient.
