LazyWeb

A lightweight HTTP(S) library strives to be perfect and easy to use. ( I have developed mWeb but I thought it was trash so I decide to create this. ) Both HTTP(S) client and HTTP server(S) are supported in LazyWeb.

Introduction

LazyWeb is based on Windows API (WinSock) and OpenSSL.

LazyWeb offers a class, lazy::Web, as the interface. LazyWeb creates a recv_thread to receive messages so that LazyWeb will be non-blocking. All the messages will be saved to a file at once.

LazyWeb offers lazy::Msg to manage HTTP messages, lazy::MsgMaker to make HTTP messages, and lazy::WebHelper.

Ques.	Ans.
Supported platform	Windows
Requirements	VisualC++; OpenSSL (Suggest using OpenSSL v3.2.1)
Supported network protocol	HTTP; HTTP + SSL/TLS; HTTP + QUIC (Client only)

Quickstart

Start as Client

#include <iostream>
//Includes the lib
#include <LazyWeb/LazyWeb.hpp>
using namespace std;
using namespace lazy;
int main() {
	string url="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/"

	//Initializate
	Web web;
	web.init(WebProt::https, HttpVer::http_1_1);
	//Connect to the server
	web.connect(url);

	//Send a GET msg
	WebHelper(web).send_get_msg(url);

	//Wait and recv msg
	while(web.msg_empty());
	Msg msg = web.read();
	//Print the msg
	cout << msg.get_str() << endl;

	//Close
	web.close();
	return 0;
}

Start with automatic helper

#include <iostream>
#include "LazyWeb/LazyWeb.hpp"
using namespace std;
using namespace lazy;
int main() {
	Msg msg = WebHelper::auto_get("https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/");
	cout << msg.get_str() << endl;
	return 0;
}

See? LazyWeb is easy to use.

Situation

The development of LazyWeb is nearly done. It's still under development.
