auto request = net::request_builder()
    .method(net::methods::get)
    .url("http://www.httpbin.org/get")
    .send();

// synchronous waits and get a response
auto response = request.get();

// prints results
std::cout << "Status code: " << response.code() << std::endl;
std::cout << "Content type: " << response.headers()["content-type"] << std::endl;
std::cout << "Body content: " << response.content().as_string_view() << std::endl;

// Status code: 200
