MHB Can You Simplify This Trigonometric Integral?

[Dustinsfl]

Looking for a more elegant solution:
$$
\int_0^{\nu}\frac{d\nu'}{(1 + \cos\nu')^2}.
$$
We can make the substitution $\tan\frac{\nu'}{2} = u$ but I would like another method if possible.

I think of two ways but I have not tried them , maybe you can try and tell me the complexity :

1- multiply by $$\frac{(1-\cos v')^2}{(1-\cos v')^2}$$

2- Use integration by parts to solve $$\int _0^v \frac{-\sin v'}{-\sin v' \,(1+\cos v')^2}\, dv'$$

For me the second approach seems better ...
