We are facing an existentialist impasse right now with this SDK. My POC was for win32 but some mobile folks used cURL to accomplish http agent part. I really need to know if Casablanca can be made to work under Android and iOS.
This will come down to mobile platform support where all this REST stuff is the most useful. I personally think this SDK has great potential (given the right features and support) but without Android/iOS support the dream of cross-platform SDK is down the drain. it would be sad that after that many month it has to come to this (but your Linux https support made a big different in my argument for this SDK; otherwise it would have been a death blow by now).
The key features that still keeps this one alive:
1) Linux support with https; there is hope it can work under Android/iOS (will try soon enough)
2) WinRT certifiable (curl/openssl are not yet I believe but it's a matter of time before it does)
3) part of next visual studio library (is this a sure thing?)
When it comes to high level architecture decision features like JSON, pplx or C++11 won't make much difference if the SDK can't support the platforms we need (cross-platform is what's missing out there; if you can do it, and officially specified in the release note, everyone will use this; I mean this is like the holy grail of smart device era). Right now cURL is a very popular choice in this area (known to work under Android/iOS/win/Linux/etc).
