好用的http client库CPP REST SDK

前言

C++中http client库本身就少，好用的就更少了，在了解微软开源的CPP REST SDK库之前，我知道的C++ http client库有libcurl（这个是C语言的），Qt的QNetworkAccessManager，还有VC++ http client，Qt的QNetworkAccessManager库我在开发CZPlayer的时候用来下载过音乐、专辑图片和歌词，不得不说Qt提供的API还是比较好用的，如果不涉及界面开发，难道我们在linux上就只能用libcurl，在windows上就用VC++的http client？答案是否定的，在绝望之际CPP REST SDK出现在我的眼前，CPP REST SDK是微软开源的基于PPL的异步http client，网络层使用的是Boost.Asio，跨平台，并且支持json解析，在使用CPP REST SDK之前要确保你已经安装了boost和openssl，下面是微软官方提供的例子。

微软官方例子

#include <cpprest/http_client.h>
#include <cpprest/filestream.h>

using namespace utility;                    // Common utilities like string conversions
using namespace web;                        // Common features like URIs.
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[])
{
    auto fileStream = std::make_shared<ostream>();

    // Open stream to output file.
    pplx::task<void> requestTask = fstream::open_ostream(U("results.html")).then([=](ostream outFile)
    {
        *fileStream = outFile;

        // Create http_client to send the request.
        http_client client(U("http://www.bing.com/"));

        // Build request URI and start the request.
        uri_builder builder(U("/search"));
        builder.append_query(U("q"), U("cpprestsdk github"));
        return client.request(methods::GET, builder.to_string());
    })

    // Handle response headers arriving.
    .then([=](http_response response)
    {
        printf("Received response status code:%u\n", response.status_code());

        // Write response body into the file.
        return response.body().read_to_end(fileStream->streambuf());
    })

    // 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)
    {
        printf("Error exception:%s\n", e.what());
    }

    return 0;
}

上面的例子主要内容是访问一个网站并将该内容保存在results.html里面，这里用到了微软自家的PPL并行计算库（还有一个是英特尔的TBB），该例子使用lambda表达式作为异步回调的handler，打开文件流、请求、回应和关闭文件流都是异步的，为了方便起见，我们将该例子改为同步方式。

使用同步方式

auto fileStream = std::make_shared<ostream>();
ostream outFile = fstream::open_ostream(U("results.html")).get();
*fileStream = outFile;

// Create http_client to send the request.
http_client client(U("http://www.bing.com/"));

// Build request URI and start the request.
uri_builder builder(U("/search"));
builder.append_query(U("q"), U("cpprestsdk github"));
http_response response = client.request(methods::GET, builder.to_string()).get();
// Write response body into the file.
response.body().read_to_end(fileStream->streambuf()).get();
fileStream->close().get();

使用同步方式的代码比较清晰，可以看到每一个函数调用后面都会调用get函数，因为CPP REST SDK是基于PPL的，所以在request、read_to_end、close等函数调用后都会返回一个Task对象，而Task里面的get和wait函数是等待任务执行完成。

实战

我之前在看别人博客的时候看到每一篇博客前都有一副图，看起来比较好看，听博主讲他是使用bing的每日一图，后来我也效仿，我在主题之家找到了自己比较喜欢的图片，最开始自己写博客的时候都是直接去主题之家一页一页的找看，然后再下载图片，写了几篇博客之后感觉每次都要去下载图片感觉有点low，所以我决定直接将主题之家的某类型的图片都下载下来，这样选图片就方便多了，下面是我在主题之家抓图的代码。
