HTTP

Provides methods and types for working with HTTP(S) requests.

Note

Mobile platforms by default often disallow internet access, especially non-HTTPS requests. Make sure to specify configure_app_permissions(ALLOW_INTERNET ALLOW_HTTP) in your app's CMakeLists.txt

Declaration

namespace bdn::net::http
{
    enum class Method
    {
        GET,
        POST,
        PUT,
        DELETE,
        HEAD,
        TRACE,
        OPTIONS,
        CONNECT
    };

    std::shared_ptr<HTTPResponse> request(HTTPRequest request);
}

Example

#include <bdn/net/HTTP.h>
// ...
void handleResponse(net::HTTPResponse response) {
    json j = json::parse(r->data);
    std::cout << j.dump(1) << std::endl;
}
// ...
net::http::request({
    net::http::Method::GET, 
    "https://www.reddit.com/hot.json", 
    &handleResponse });

Request

• void request(HTTPRequest request)

  Performs the given request asynchronously and immediately returns. The request's DoneHandler is called on the main thread once a response has been received or an error has occurred.
