A simple secondary wrapper for WinHttp

This project may not be updated frequently because a better alternative project has been found: https://github.com/libcpr/cpr

Import Methods:

1. cmake + source

   CMakeLists.txt

   include_directories(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/WinHttp)
   add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} main.cpp)
   target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/lib/Winhttp_SimpleAPI.lib)

   main.cpp

   #include <WinhttpAPI.h>

2. source only (msvc only)

   main.cpp

   #include "..\\WinhttpAPI.h"
   #pragma comment(lib,"..\\Winhttp_SimpleAPI.lib")

Usage:

First step, import namespace

using namespace Winhttp;

Request a website information

HttpRequestT httpRequest;
HttpResponseT httpResponse;
httpRequest.url = "https://www.baidu.com";
httpRequest.protocol = "get";

WinhttpAPI httpAPI;
httpAPI.SetHeader("Connection","keep-alive");
httpAPI.SetHeader("Context-Type","text/html");
httpAPI.Request(httpRequest,httpResponse);

//Get the content and headers returned from a web visit.
std::cout << "[+]" << httpResponse.body << ", " << httpResponse.headers << '\n';
//Retrieve a specific key value from the returned headers
std::cout << "[+]" << httpAPI.GetHeader("Date") << '\n';

Download a file

HttpRequestT httpRequest = {"https://example.com/1GB.bin", "get", {HttpRequestT::SaveMethodT::FILE_STREAM, "C:\\test.bin"}};
HttpResponseT httpResponse;

WinhttpAPI httpAPI(httpRequest,httpResponse);
httpAPI.request();
//At the same time,the headers exist and the body has empty

Other

• use encode/decode function

  // transform string to wstring
  std::wstring wStr = CodeCvt::StrToWstr("hello world", CP_ACP);
  
  // transform wstring to string
  std::string str = CodeCvt::WstrToStr(L"hello world", CP_ACP);

Todo

• Change code style, design mode
• multithreading support
