+### HTTP Client Utilities
+
+The ipdemo includes a blocking HTTP client utility (`src/http_utils.hpp`) that wraps Drogon's asynchronous HttpClient:
+
+```cpp
+#include "http_utils.hpp"
+
+// Make a blocking HTTP GET request
+auto response = http_get("example.com", "/api/endpoint", true, 10.0); // HTTPS with 10s timeout
+if (response.success && response.status_code == 200) {
+    std::cout << response.body << std::endl;
+}
+```
+
+This utility handles the threading complexity and provides a simple synchronous interface for HTTP requests.
