cpp-http
A lightweight wrapper for HTTP communication.
Example usage
using namespace http = forceinline::http;
http::connection yoursite( "www.yoursite.com" );
try {
// Connect to our HTTP server
yoursite.connect( );
// Create a new request
http::request post_req( http::request::methods::POST, "/some/page.html" );
post_req.set_argument( "some_argument", "some_value" );
// Send the request
yoursite.make_request( &post_req, [ ]( const http::response& response ) {
// Check the response code
if ( response.code != 200 )
return;
// Do something with the body
std::cout << response.body << std::endl;
} );
// Close the connection after we're done
yoursite.close( );
} catch ( const std::exception& e ) {
std::cout << e.what( ) << std::endl;
}
