Just a reminder in all of this--Steve Wozniak created the Apple
prototype in Hewlett-Packard's engineering lab while working as an
employee of Hewlett-Packard. He offered the design to the company and
when they decided they had no use for it he requested and obtained a
release to market it on his own. Don't assume that a company, even a
very large one with lots and lots of lawyers, will be completely
inflexible on such a matter.

I'm not aware of anything in boost, although there is cpp-netlib that
hopes to fill this void.

Yeah, GSoap isn't the greatest thing. I've used it successfully in
the past to talk to WSDL based web services from C++, but I usually
cringed when I looked at the code it generated from the WSDL. For
WSDLs with objects with many (hundreds) of methods, the resulting
library was tens of megabytes, which didn't install confidence in our
team. The one thing GSoap has going for it is that if you need to
talk to a WSDL based service from C++ and the WSDL is reasonably
sized, then it provides a ready-made path for achieving that
objective without writing tons of manual code.
 
However, most of the world has left WSDL (SOAP) based web services
behind and instead focused more on RESTful APIs. A good, free book
on designing RESTful web services is here:

If you want to supply a restful API from your C++ based server, then
you might want to look at this stack overflow thread:
