C++ - Consuming a C# REST-full WCF Service hosted in azure

I have a c# WCF REST service running on Azure. I need to consume and longpoll the service from an unmanaged application.

The c++ app will not be running on the .NET framework.

Is there a best practice or library already out there that makes c++ consumption of WCF Services easy?

You could try to use gSOAP, it is a well known Toolkit for SOAP Web Services and XML-Based Applications, it is written in c and c++, to both: create and consume web services. It supports many standards of W3C and also can consume WCF. You can find it in gsoap2.sourceforge.net Best Regards

Microsoft is developing their Casablanca library for exactly this use case. You can get a dev preview version of it here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/devlabs/casablanca.aspx

Alternatively, here at work we will usually write a C# component that consumes a WCF service and expose the service's objects through COM to C++. We have also had some success more recently with KDSOAP, which would mean bringing Qt into your project.
