I want to write a little c++ program that sends a request to a server an get some data. I found the C++ Rest-SDK and decided to use it. I searched on different websites for code-examples but many of them doesn't work an shows syntax errors. What i got now is that code but the client.request method is skipped. The program never jumps in. Hope someone can realise the problem and maybe explain what i have to change.
#include <Windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
#include "cpprest/containerstream.h"
#include "cpprest/filestream.h"
#include "cpprest/http_client.h"
#include "cpprest/json.h"
#include "cpprest/producerconsumerstream.h"
#include "cpprest/http_client.h"
#include <string.h>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;
using namespace web;
using namespace web::json;
using namespace web::http;
using namespace web::http::client;
using namespace utility;
using namespace utility::conversions;
int main() {
http_client client(L"http://httpbin.org/ip");
client.request(methods::GET).then([](http_response response)
{
if(response.status_code() == status_codes::OK)
{
auto body = response.extract_string().get();
std::wcout << body;
getch();
}
});
return 0;
}
It is possible that the main thread is terminated before the "request" task completed, so you cannot see any console outputs. I suggest you to call the task "wait()" function after ".then", like in the answer on their site
Your program runs off the end of main
and terminates. You need to add wait
after the then
call:
client.request(methods::GET).then([](http_response response)
{
// ...
}).wait();
this code is working :
// ConsoleApplication1.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.

using namespace web::http; // Common HTTP functionality
using namespace web::http::client; // HTTP client features
using namespace concurrency::streams; // Asynchronous streams
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
// Make the request and asynchronously process the response.
http_client client(L"http://localhost:8082/TPJAXRS/Test/test");
client.request(methods::GET).then([](http_response response)
{
if(response.status_code() == status_codes::OK)
{
auto body = response.extract_string().get();
std::wcout << body<< std::endl;
}});
std::cout << "Hello world!" << std::endl;
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

// Write response body into the file.

})
// Close the file stream.
.then([=](size_t)

return fileStream->close();
});
// Wait for all the outstanding I/O to complete and handle any exceptions
try
{
requestTask.wait();
}
catch (const std::exception &e)

This is for setting in HTTP request
