Detailed Description

Implements a HTTPS socket client based on the SSL client.

Note: plaintext HTTP without SSL is also supported via a "downgrade" setting

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ https_client()

dpp::https_client::https_client	(	const std::string &	hostname,
		uint16_t	port = `443`,
		const std::string &	urlpath = `"/"`,
		const std::string &	verb = `"GET"`,
		const std::string &	req_body = `""`,
		const http_headers &	extra_headers = `{}`,
		bool	plaintext_connection = `false`,
		uint16_t	request_timeout = `5`
	)

Connect to a specific HTTP(S) server and complete a request.

The constructor will attempt the connection, and return the content. By the time the constructor completes, the HTTP request will be stored in the object.

Note: This is a blocking call. It starts a loop which runs non-blocking functions within it, but does not return until the request completes. See queues.cpp for how to make this asynchronous.

Parameters

hostname	Hostname to connect to
port	Port number to connect to, usually 443 for SSL and 80 for plaintext
urlpath	path part of URL, e.g. "/api"
verb	Request verb, e.g. GET or POST
req_body	Request body, use dpp::https_client::build_multipart() to build a multipart MIME body (e.g. for multiple file upload)
extra_headers	Additional request headers, e.g. user-agent, authorization, etc
plaintext_connection	Set to true to make the connection plaintext (turns off SSL)
request_timeout	How many seconds before the connection is considered failed if not finished

◆ ~https_client()

virtual dpp::https_client::~https_client ( )

virtual

Destroy the https client object.

Member Function Documentation

	)

static

Build a multipart content from a set of files and some json.

Parameters

json	The json content

mimetypes	MIME types of each of the files to send

Returns: multipart mime content and headers

◆ get_header()

const std::string dpp::https_client::get_header ( std::string header_name ) const

Get a HTTP response header.

Parameters

header_name Header name to find, case insensitive

Returns: Header content or empty string if not found. If multiple values have the same header_name, this will return one of them.

See also: get_header_count to determine if multiple are present; get_header_list to retrieve all entries of the same header_name

◆ get_header_count()

size_t dpp::https_client::get_header_count ( std::string header_name ) const

Get the number of headers with the same header name.

Parameters

header_name

Returns: the number of headers with this count

◆ get_header_list()

const std::list< std::string > dpp::https_client::get_header_list ( std::string header_name ) const

Get a set of HTTP response headers with a common name.

Parameters

header_name

Returns: A list of headers with the same name, or an empty list if not found

◆ get_headers()

Get all HTTP response headers.

Returns: headers as a map

◆ get_host_info()

static http_connect_info dpp::https_client::get_host_info ( std::string url )

Member Data Documentation

◆ buffer

std::string dpp::ssl_client::buffer

protectedinherited

◆ custom_readable_fd

socket_callback_t dpp::ssl_client::custom_readable_fd

inherited

Attaching an additional file descriptor to this function will send notifications when there is data to read.

NOTE: Only hook this if you NEED it as it can increase CPU usage of the thread! Returning -1 means that you don't want to be notified.

◆ custom_readable_ready

socket_notification_t dpp::ssl_client::custom_readable_ready

inherited

This event will be called when you can read from the custom fd.

◆ custom_writeable_fd

socket_callback_t dpp::ssl_client::custom_writeable_fd

inherited

Attaching an additional file descriptor to this function will send notifications when you are able to write to the socket.

NOTE: Only hook this if you NEED it as it can increase CPU usage of the thread! You should toggle this to -1 when you do not have anything to write otherwise it'll keep triggering repeatedly (it is level triggered).

◆ custom_writeable_ready

socket_notification_t dpp::ssl_client::custom_writeable_ready

This event will be called when you can write to a custom fd.

◆ hostname

std::string dpp::ssl_client::hostname
