HTTPRequest is a single-header library for making HTTP requests. You can just include it in your project and use it. HTTPRequest was tested on macOS, Windows and Linux, but it should work on most of the Linux-based platforms. Supports IPv4 and IPv6.
#include "HTTPRequest.hpp"
try
{
// you can pass http::InternetProtocol::V6 to Request to make an IPv6 request
http::Request request("http://test.com/test");
// send a get request
const http::Response getResponse = request.send("GET");
std::cout << std::string(getResponse.body.begin(), getResponse.body.end()) << '\n'; // print the result
// send a post request
const http::Response postResponse = request.send("POST", "foo=1&bar=baz", {
"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
});
std::cout << std::string(postResponse.body.begin(), postResponse.body.end()) << '\n'; // print the result
// pass parameters as a map
std::map<std::string, std::string> parameters = {{"foo", "1"}, {"bar", "baz"}};
const http::Response response = request.send("POST", parameters, {
"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
});
std::cout << std::string(response.body.begin(), response.body.end()) << '\n'; // print the result
}
catch (const std::exception& e)
{
std::cerr << "Request failed, error: " << e.what() << '\n';
