Send GET and POST requests in C++
In this tutorial, we will see how to send GET and POST requests in C++.
The usage of these requests majorly in the field of www and it uses various protocols.
GET method in C++
HTTP get request is used to get data from the web-server. It has no side effects and it is not supposed to change anything on the server.
It can be executed any number of times without side effects.
If you click a hyperlink or you type an URL in an address bar and hit enter it will issue a gate method.
Send GET request in
#include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { char p_request[100]={0}; char p_resourcepath[]="2019/07/creating-xml-request-in-cpp-for-server.html"; char p_hostaddress[]="www.cplusplus.com"; sprintf(p_request, "GET /%s HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: %s\r\nContent-Type: text/plain\r\n\r\n", p_resourcepath, p_hostaddress); cout<<"Created Get Request is as follows:"<<"\n"; cout<< p_request; return 0; }
POST method in C++
POST method is used for submitting data to the server. This method is used where we want to post a message.
the POST method is more secure as compared to GET method.
Send POST request in C++
#include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { char a_XmlData[]="<body><name>amss</name><age>19</age></body>"; char a_XmlRequest[251]={0}; char a_ServiceMethod[]="applicationformat.svc/getdetail"; char a_Request[151]={0}; char a_HostIp[31]="76.127.24.111"; char a_Port[]="81"; sprintf(a_Request,"http://%s:%s/%s/%s HTTP/1.1",a_HostIp,a_Port,a_ServiceMethod); cout<<"Method and Resource path is below:"; cout<<a_Request; strcat(a_HostIp,":"); strcat(a_HostIp,a_Port); cout<<"HOST header is below:"<<endl;; cout<<a_HostIp; sprintf(a_XmlRequest,"POST %s\r\nHost: %s\r\nContent-Type: application/xml\r\nContent-Length: %d\r\n\r\n%s\r\n",aszRequest,aszHostIp,strlen(aszXmlData),aszXmlData); cout<<"POST Request which send to the server:"<<endl; cout<<a_XmlRequest; return 0; }
