from example01.cpp:

      myRequest.setOpt(cURLpp::Options::Url("example.com"));

      // Note that the previous line wasn't really efficient
      // because we create the option, this option is duplicated
      // for the request and then the option destructor is called.
      // You can use this instead:
      myRequest.setOpt(new cURLpp::Options::Url("example.com"));
      // Note that with this the request will use directly this
      // instance we just created. Be aware that if you pass an
      // Option pointer to the setOpt function, it will consider
      // the instance has its own instance. The Option instance
      // will be deleted when the request will be deleted, so
      // don't use the instance further in your code.

However, I would change
 setOpt(Option *)
to
 setOpt(auto_ptr<Option>)
