http + tls now available in zig std lib:

const std = @import("std");

pub fn main() !void {
    var client = std.http.Client{
        .allocator = std.heap.c_allocator,
    };

    try client.ca_bundle.addCertsFromFile(
        client.allocator,
        std.fs.cwd(),
        "root.cer",
    );

    var request = try client.request(
        try std.Uri.parse("https://www.boredapi.com/api/activity"),
        .{},
        .{},
    );

    var buffer = [_]u8{0} ** 1024;
    _ = try request.readAll(&buffer);

    std.debug.print("Read:\n{s}\n", .{buffer});
}

Will fetch trusted certificates on its own only on linux.
macOS is maybe harder since certificates are in the keychain.

Certificate are fetched since ziglang/zig#14325

Could also use libcurl
