    Lightweight C++23 S3 client with no extra deps (just curl and OpenSSL)▲5

    Attached is my attempt at making a small toy S3 client without any other dependency besides libcurl and OpenSSL. Was tested mainly on MinIO (RIP) locally, so I would expect some bugs when using it against AWS, although I was able to play with it on some open access buckets Be aware that I am not a C++ programmer and this project was indeed done to learn a bit of C++ myself :') Feedback on any of the code, either on gtest, or the benchmarking section or the core itself is welcome!
