This is a simple REST client for C++. It wraps libcurl for HTTP requests.
I tried to keep usage close to the ruby rest-client. So the basic usage is:
RestClient::method(url, content-type, params);
Examples:
#include "restclient.h"
RestClient::response r = RestClient::get("http://url.com")
RestClient::response r = RestClient::post("http://url.com/post", "text/json", "{\"foo\": \"bla\"}")
RestClient::response r = RestClient::put("http://url.com/put", "text/json", "{\"foo\": \"bla\"}")
RestClient::response r = RestClient::del("http://url.com/delete")
The response is of type RestClient::response and has three attributes:
RestClient::response.code // HTTP response code
RestClient::response.body // HTTP response body
RestClient::response.headers // HTTP response headers
There are some packages available for Linux on packagecloud. Otherwise you can do the regular autotools dance:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make install
- Fork the project.
- Make your feature addition or bug fix.
- Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
- Commit, do not mess with version
- Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
