Trignometric integral : $\int \frac{dx}{\sin x + \sec x}$ The integral I am trying to compute is : 
$$\int \dfrac{dx}{\sin x + \sec x}$$
I have tried manipulating trignometric functions and it took me nowhere. Then finally I tried putting $\tan\dfrac{x}{2} = t$, and subsequently:
$$=\int\dfrac{1-t^2}{(1+t^2)^2-2t(t^2-1)}dt$$
I cannot see how to approach after this, I know we have to factor out two quadratics, but cant see how to.
Also, if there was another method instead of this substitution, please hint on that too! Thanks!

As Michael Wang commented $$A=(1+t^2)^2-2t(t^2-1)=t^4-2 t^3+2 t^2+2 t+1$$ Computing the roots of the quartic equation (all are complex), you end with
$$A=\left(t^2+(\sqrt{3}-1)t-\sqrt{3}+2\right)\left(t^2-(\sqrt{3}+1) t+\sqrt{3}+2\right)$$ Partial fraction decomposition then leads to 
$$\dfrac{1-t^2}{(1+t^2)^2-2t(t^2-1)}=\frac{1+t}{t^2+(\sqrt{3}-1)t-\sqrt{3}+2}+\frac{1+t}{t^2-(\sqrt{3}+1) t+\sqrt{3}+2}$$ which makes the problem workable.
Edit
Being less lazy, write $$(t^2+at+b)(t^2+ct+d)-(t^4-2 t^3+2 t^2+2 t+1)=0$$ Expand and group terms to get $$(a+c+2)t^3+ (a c+b+d-2)t^2+ (a d+b c-2)t+(b d-1)=0$$ So the equations to be solved are $$a+c+2=0\tag 1$$ $$a c+b+d-2=0\tag 2$$ $$a d+b c-2=0\tag 3$$ $$bd-1=0\tag 4$$ Using $(4)$, then $d=\frac 1b$. Using $(1)$, then $c=-2-a$. Replace in $(2)$ to get $$\frac{a}{b}-(a+2) b-2=0\implies a=\frac{2 b}{1-b}$$ Now, plug everything in $(3)$ to get $$\frac{(b^2-4b+1) \left(b^2+1\right)}{(b-1)^2 b}=0\implies b^2-4b+1=0$$
