下面是一些(相对)简单的c++ 11代码，使用libCURL将URL的内容下载到std::vector<char>:

http_download.hh

# pragma once

#include <string>
#include <vector>

std::vector<char> download(std::string url, long* responseCode = nullptr);

http_download.cc

#include "http_download.hh"

#include <curl/curl.h>
#include <sstream>
#include <stdexcept>

using namespace std;

size_t callback(void* contents, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void* user)
{
  auto chunk = reinterpret_cast<char*>(contents);
  auto buffer = reinterpret_cast<vector<char>*>(user);

  size_t priorSize = buffer->size();
  size_t sizeIncrease = size * nmemb;

  buffer->resize(priorSize + sizeIncrease);
  std::copy(chunk, chunk + sizeIncrease, buffer->data() + priorSize);

  return sizeIncrease;
}

vector<char> download(string url, long* responseCode)
{
  vector<char> data;

  curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_ALL);
  CURL* handle = curl_easy_init();
  curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_URL, url.c_str());
  curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, callback);
  curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, &data);
  curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "libcurl-agent/1.0");
  CURLcode result = curl_easy_perform(handle);
  if (responseCode != nullptr)
    curl_easy_getinfo(handle, CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE, responseCode);
  curl_easy_cleanup(handle);
  curl_global_cleanup();

  if (result != CURLE_OK)
  {
    stringstream err;
    err << "Error downloading from URL \"" << url << "\": " << curl_easy_strerror(result);
    throw runtime_error(err.str());
  }

  return data;
}

你可以使用embeddedRest库。它是一个轻量级的头文件库。所以很容易将它包含到你的项目中，它不需要编译，因为里面没有。cpp文件。

从自述文件中请求示例。Md from repo:

#include "UrlRequest.hpp"

//...

UrlRequest request;
request.host("api.vk.com");
const auto countryId = 1;
const auto count = 1000;
request.uri("/method/database.getCities",{
    { "lang", "ru" },
    { "country_id", countryId },
    { "count", count },
    { "need_all", "1" },
});
request.addHeader("Content-Type: application/json");
auto response = std::move(request.perform());
if (response.statusCode() == 200) {
  cout << "status code = " << response.statusCode() << ", body = *" << response.body() << "*" << endl;
}else{
  cout << "status code = " << response.statusCode() << ", description = " << response.statusDescription() << endl;
}

这是我关于cURL的最小包装器，它能够以字符串的形式获取网页。例如，这对于单元测试很有用。它基本上是一个围绕C代码的RAII包装器。

在你的机器上安装libcurl libcurl-devel或等效的。

使用的例子:

CURLplusplus client;
string x = client.Get("http://google.com");
string y = client.Get("http://yahoo.com");

类的实现:

#include <curl/curl.h>


class CURLplusplus
{
private:
    CURL* curl;
    stringstream ss;
    long http_code;
public:
    CURLplusplus()
            : curl(curl_easy_init())
    , http_code(0)
    {

    }
    ~CURLplusplus()
    {
        if (curl) curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
    }
    std::string Get(const std::string& url)
    {
        CURLcode res;
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, url.c_str());
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, write_data);
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, this);

        ss.str("");
        http_code = 0;
        res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
        if (res != CURLE_OK)
        {
            throw std::runtime_error(curl_easy_strerror(res));
        }
        curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE, &http_code);
        return ss.str();
    }
    long GetHttpCode()
    {
        return http_code;
    }
private:
    static size_t write_data(void *buffer, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *userp)
    {
        return static_cast<CURLplusplus*>(userp)->Write(buffer,size,nmemb);
    }
    size_t Write(void *buffer, size_t size, size_t nmemb)
    {
        ss.write((const char*)buffer,size*nmemb);
        return size*nmemb;
    }
};

以上所有的答案都是有帮助的。我的回答只是补充了一些内容:

使用boost beast，同步示例，异步示例，ssl示例 以nghttp2为例，它支持SSL、HTTP/2 使用Facebook proxygen，这个项目包括在Facebook上使用的核心c++ HTTP抽象。它的目标是高性能和并发性。我建议用vcpkg安装它，否则你会在依赖项管理上遇到困难。支持SSL。它还支持一些高级协议:HTTP/1.1、SPDY/3、SPDY/3.1、HTTP/2和HTTP/3

nghttp2和prooxygen都是稳定的，可以考虑在生产中使用。

MS的CppRest SDK是我刚刚发现的，大约半小时后，我的第一个简单的web服务调用工作。相比之下，在这里提到的其他地方，我甚至无法安装任何东西，我不得不说，这是相当令人印象深刻的
