C++ 简单实现HTTP GET/POST 请求

HTTP(超文本传输协议)是一种客户端与服务端的传输协议，最早用于浏览器和服务器之间的通信，后来因为其使用灵活、方便等特点，广泛用于客户端与服务端的通信。文章将简单介绍HTTP协议，同时以C++方式分别实现HTTP GET、POST 请求

HTTP 请求报文

HTTP请求报文的一般格式由4部分组成：请求行、请求头部、空行、请求数据。如下图所示：

请求行：包含3部分内容：请求方法，URL，协议版本。形式如：GET /?aaa=1 HTTP/1.1。请求方法有GET、POST、HEAD、PUT、DELETE、OPTIONS等。URL指请求服务端的地址，可以是相对地址或域名形式的绝对地址。协议版本主要有HTTP/1.1 HTTP/1.0 HTTP/0.9，后面两种已很少使用了。

请求头部：以key/value形式成对表示头部参数，以英文冒号分隔。key名称的约定写法为Key，Key-Name，自定义key名称一般以“X-”开头。如php的声明“X-Powered-By:PHP/5.5.4-1”

空行：用来标识请求头部的数据已结束。

请求数据：可选项，这块内容只在POST方式下使用，作为POST的数据表示区域。使用这块内容，要在请求头部以Content-Length声明请求数据长度，以Content-Type声明请求数据类型。

HTTP POST请求

HTTP POST方式是把请求参数放到HTTP请求报文的请求数据中，为了让例子更容易看懂，仅保留HTTP Post关键参数，你还可以自定义一些参数，比如浏览器喜欢用的User-Agent，Accept，Connection等等

char *pHttpPost = "POST %s HTTP/1.1\r\n"
    "Host: %s:%d\r\n"
    "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n"
    "Content-Length: %d\r\n\r\n"
    "%s";
 
char* addr = "http://localhost/post.php";
char* host = "127.0.0.1";
int port = 80;
char* msg = "aaa=1&bbb=2";
 
char strHttpPost[1024] = {0};
sprintf(strHttpPost, pHttpPost, addr, host, port, strlen(msg), msg);
 
//这里忽略掉了socket连接代码
 
send(sockClient, strHttpPost, strlen(strHttpPost), 0);

HTTP GET请求

HTTP GET方式是把请求参数放到HTTP请求报文的请求行URL中，所以请求行就是“GET /?aaa=1&bbb=2 HTTP/1.1\r\n”。URL最大长度通常浏览器取255，这和文件路径最大长度有关。虽然HTTP允许更大长度，但不建议怎么做，如果太长了，可以考虑换成POST方式

char *pHttpGet = "GET %s?%s HTTP/1.1\r\n"
    "Host: %s:%d\r\n\r\n";
 
char* addr = "http://localhost/get.php";
char* host = "127.0.0.1";
int post = 80;
char* msg = "aaa=1&bbb=2";
 
char strHttpGet[1024] = {0};
sprintf(strHttpGet, pHttpGet, addr, msg,  host, post);
 
//这里忽略掉了socket连接代码
 
send(sockClient, strHttpGet, strlen(strHttpGet), 0);
