    Alternatives at the low to medium level of abstraction include civetweb and mongoose, which have a common ancestor. Both of these appear to be C rather than C++, but seem to be production quality and well-documented. Another C library is cpp-httplib, which is probably too low-level for me.

    Every one of these libraries uses CMake to make it easier for end users to consume their libraries. In fact your example uses CMake as well such that I can consume it the way I describe above.
