I want to write C++ code with using curlpp library which work exactly as following example on curl if it possible of course.
> curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"param1":"val1", "param2":"val2", "param3":"val3"}' --data-binary '@/tmp/somefolder/file.bin' https://my-api.somedomain.com:1024/my_command_url
>
I was able to write transfer json text with method POST but when I added upload command this library substitute PUT instead of POST.
I decided to post answer here, perhaps it will help somebody like me
static string post_request(const string url,const string body1,const string path2file)
{
const string field_divider="&";
stringstream result;
try
{
using namespace std;
// This block responsible for reading in the fastest way media file
// and prepare it for sending on API server
ifstream is(path2file);
is.seekg(0, ios_base::end);
size_t size=is.tellg();
is.seekg(0, ios_base::beg);
vector<char> v(size/sizeof(char));
is.read((char*) &v[0], size);
is.close();
string body2(v.begin(),v.end());
// Initialization
curlpp::Cleanup cleaner;
curlpp::Easy request;
list< string > headers;
headers.push_back("Content-Type: application/json");
headers.push_back("User-Agent: curl/7.77.7");
using namespace curlpp::Options;
request.setOpt(new Verbose(true));
request.setOpt(new HttpHeader(headers));
request.setOpt(new Url(url));
request.setOpt(new PostFields(body1+field_divider+body2));
request.setOpt(new PostFieldSize(body1.length()+field_divider.length()+body2.length()));
request.setOpt(new curlpp::options::SslEngineDefault());
request.setOpt(WriteStream(&result));
request.perform();
}
catch ( curlpp::LogicError & e )
{
cout << e.what() << endl;
}
catch ( curlpp::RuntimeError & e )
{
cout << e.what() << endl;
}
return (result.str());
}
