http4cpp - A http request/response programming framework implemented by C++

http4cpp is a easily used programming framework under Linux and Mac OS(no support for Window system). It is based on the libcurl for the only purpose to construct a easily and friendly used programming model. One can include the header file for own derivation and extension.

Requirements

1. Linux 2.6+ and Mac OS 10.10+
2. g++ 4.8+
3. libcurl must be installed:

# for debian
sudo apt-get install libcurl3

# for redhat
yum install curl curl-devel

Install

http4cpp can be used by following 3 methods:

1. As a third part source code

The src directory must be in the compile include path -I option.

2. As a static library

Use the following command:

make static

It will generate an directory called output in the current directory, and the static library libhttp4cpp.a will be in it.

3. As a shared object

Use the following command:

make shared

It will generate the libhttp4cpp.so in the output directory.

Usage

    HttpRequest req;
    req.set_timeout(30*1000);
    req.add_http_header("content-type", "text/plain");
    req.set_http_method(HTTP_METHOD_HEAD);
    req.set_url("www.baidu.com");

    std::string sbuf;
    MemoryOutputStream os(buf, 4096);
    HttpResponse res;
    res.set_output_stream(&os);

    HttpClient::init();
    HttpClient::request(req, &res);
    HttpClient::cleanup();

    std::cout << "Status code:" << res.get_http_code() << std::endl;
    std::map<std::string, std::string> headers = res.get_response_header();
    std::cout << res.get_http_version() << std::endl;
    std::cout << res.get_http_code() << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Body:\n" << os.get_buffer_string() << std::endl;
    std::cout << "ErrorMsg:\n" << res.get_error_message() << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Header Size: " << headers.size() << std::endl;
    std::map<std::string, std::string>::iterator it = headers.begin();
    for (; it != headers.end(); ++it) {
        std::cout << "======" << it->first << ":" << it->second << std::endl;
    }

The details can be found in the test/http_test.cpp. Use

make test

to generate the test executables. Further extension usage can be implemented by derivate the HttpRequest and HttpResponse class. It's waiting for your digging.
