有什么方法可以简单地用c++发出HTTP请求吗?具体来说,我想下载一个页面(一个API)的内容,并检查内容,看看它是否包含1或0。是否也可以将内容下载到字符串中?

其他回答

c++没有提供任何直接实现它的方法。这完全取决于你拥有什么样的平台和库。

在最坏的情况下,您可以使用boost::asio库来建立TCP连接,发送HTTP报头(RFC 2616),并直接解析响应。查看您的应用程序需求,这很简单。

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。

如果你想要c++的解决方案,你可以使用Qt,它有一个QHttp类。

你可以查看文档:

http->setHost("qt.nokia.com");
http->get(QUrl::toPercentEncoding("/index.html"));

Qt还有很多可以在普通c++应用程序中使用的功能。

虽然有点晚了。你可能更喜欢https://github.com/Taymindis/backcurl。

它允许你在移动c++开发上进行http调用。适合手机游戏开发

bcl::init(); // init when using

bcl::execute<std::string>([&](bcl::Request *req) {
    bcl::setOpts(req, CURLOPT_URL , "http://www.google.com",
             CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L,
             CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, &bcl::writeContentCallback,
             CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, req->dataPtr,

             CURLOPT_RANGE, "0-200000"

    std::string ret =  std::string(resp->getBody<std::string>()->c_str());
    printf("Sync === %s\n", ret.c_str());
});
