How do you make a HTTP request with C

Question

Is there any way to easily make a HTTP request with C     Specifically  I want to download the contents of a page  an API  and check the contents to see if it contains a 1 or a 0  Is it also possible to download the contents into a string

C   does not provide any way to do it directly  It would entirely depend on what platforms and libraries that you have   At worst case  you can use the boost  asio library to establish a TCP connection  send the HTTP headers  RFC 2616   and parse the responses directly  Looking at your application needs  this is simple enough to do

Updated answer for April  2020   I ve had a lot of success  recently  with cpp-httplib  both as a client and a server   It s mature and its approximate  single-threaded RPS is around 6k   On more of the bleeding edge  there s a really promising framework  cpv-framework  that can get around 180k RPS on two cores  and will scale well with the number of cores because it s based on the seastar framework  which powers the fastest DBs on the planet  scylladb     However  cpv-framework is still relatively immature  so  for most uses  I highly recommend cpp-httplib   This recommendation replaces my previous answer  8 years ago

CppRest SDK by MS is what I just found and after about 1 2 hour had my first simple web service call working   Compared that to others mentioned here where I was not able to get anything even installed after hours of looking  I d say it is pretty impressive https   github com microsoft cpprestsdk Scroll down and click on Documentation  then click on Getting Started Tutorial and you will have a simple app running in no time

Update 2020  I have a new answer that replaces this  now 8-years-old  one  https   stackoverflow com a 61177330 278976  On Linux  I tried cpp-netlib  libcurl  curlpp  urdl  boost  asio and considered Qt  but turned it down based on the license   All of these were either incomplete for this use  had sloppy interfaces  had poor documentation  were unmaintained or didn t support https   Then  at the suggestion of https   stackoverflow com a 1012577 278976  I tried POCO  Wow  I wish I had seen this years ago  Here s an example of making an HTTP GET request with POCO   https   stackoverflow com a 26026828 2817595  POCO is free  open source  boost license   And no  I don t have any affiliation with the company  I just really like their interfaces  Great job guys  and gals    https   pocoproject org download html  Hope this helps someone    it took me three days to try all of these libraries out

You can use embeddedRest library  It is lightweight header-only library  So it is easy to include it to your project and it does not require compilation cause there no  cpp files in it  Request example from readme md from repo   include  quot UrlRequest hpp quot          UrlRequest request  request host  quot api vk com quot    const auto countryId   1  const auto count   1000  request uri  quot  method database getCities quot           quot lang quot    quot ru quot            quot country id quot   countryId           quot count quot   count           quot need all quot    quot 1 quot         request addHeader  quot Content-Type  application json quot    auto response   std  move request perform     if  response statusCode      200      cout  lt  lt   quot status code    quot   lt  lt  response statusCode    lt  lt   quot   body     quot   lt  lt  response body    lt  lt   quot   quot   lt  lt  endl   else    cout  lt  lt   quot status code    quot   lt  lt  response statusCode    lt  lt   quot   description    quot   lt  lt  response statusDescription    lt  lt  endl

libCURL is a pretty good option for you  Depending on what you need to do  the tutorial should tell you what you want  specifically for the easy handle  But  basically  you could do this just to see the source of a page   CURL  c  c   curl easy init    curl easy setopt  c  CURL URL   www google com     curl easy perform  c    curl easy cleanup  c      I believe this will cause the result to be printed to stdout  If you want to handle it instead -- which  I assume  you do -- you need to set the CURL WRITEFUNCTION  All of that is covered in the curl tutorial linked above

The HTTP protocol is very simple  so it is very simple to write a HTTP client  Here is one https   github com pedro-vicente lib netsockets It uses HTTP GET to retrieve a file from a web server  both server and file are command line parameters  The remote file is saved to a local copy  Disclaimer  I am the author check http cc https   github com pedro-vicente lib netsockets blob master src http cc int http client t  get const char  path remote file      char buf request 1024        construct request message using class input parameters   sprintf buf request   quot GET  s HTTP 1 1 r nHost   s r nConnection  close r n r n quot   path remote file  m server ip c str          send request  using built in tcp client t socket   if  this- gt write all buf request   int strlen buf request    lt  0          return -1       EDIT  edited URL

I had the same problem  libcurl is really complete  There is a C   wrapper curlpp that might interest you as you ask for a C   library  neon is another interesting C library that also support WebDAV  curlpp seems natural if you use C    There are many examples provided in the source distribution  To get the content of an URL you do something like that  extracted from examples       Edit   rewritten for cURLpp 0 7 3    Note   namespace changed  was cURLpp in 0 7 2       include  lt curlpp cURLpp hpp gt   include  lt curlpp Options hpp gt      RAII cleanup  curlpp  Cleanup myCleanup      Send request and get a result     Here I use a shortcut to get it in a string stream      std  ostringstream os  os  lt  lt  curlpp  options  Url std  string  quot http   www wikipedia org quot      string asAskedInQuestion   os str     See the examples directory in curlpp source distribution  there is a lot of more complex cases  as well as a simple complete minimal one using curlpp  my 2 cents

C and C   don t have a standard library for HTTP or even for socket connections  Over the years some portable libraries have been developed  The most widely used  as others have said  is libcurl   Here is a list of alternatives to libcurl  coming from the libcurl s web site    Also  for Linux  this is a simple HTTP client  You could implement your own simple HTTP GET client  but this won t work if there are authentication or redirects involved or if you need to work behind a proxy  For these cases you need a full-blown library like libcurl   For source code with libcurl  this is the closest to what you want  Libcurl has many examples   Look at the main function  The html content will be copied to the buffer  after a successfully connection  Just replace parseHtml with your own function
