HTTP Client Hanging

[chronoxor]

Most of HTTP servers require and check properly filled "Host" header. Please try in your example this sample:

    void Request(const std::string& url)
    {
        auto& req = request();
        req.Clear();
        req.SetBegin("GET", url);
        req.SetHeader("Host", address + ":" + std::to_string(port));
        req.SetBody();

        auto response = SendRequest(req).get();

        if (response.status() == 200)
            ++total_messages;
        else
            ++total_errors;
    }

Hi, Thanks for replying to my question so quickly! Unfortunately, I'm still having the same problem. The program just stops forever at the SendRequest line. Is there anything else that I could try? This is how I modified the code snippet that you sent:

auto& req = client->request();
req.Clear();
req.SetBegin("GET", "/");
req.SetHeader("Host", "127.0.0.1:8080");
req.SetBody("foo");

std::cout << "sending request..." << std::endl;
auto response = client->SendRequest(req).get();
if (response.status() == 200)
            ++total_messages;
 else
            ++total_errors;

Thanks,
Conrad

Hi,
I'm experiencing similar client issues (be it HTTP Client or HTTPS Client).
Somehow, I can reach servers running on my machine, but not ones on the web (eg. http://httpbin.org).
Trying to send a basic get request to http://httpbin.org/get using the following code snippet

auto service = std::make_shared<CppServer::Asio::Service>();

CppServer::HTTP::HTTPResponse testResponse;
CppServer::HTTP::HTTPRequest testRequest;

testRequest.Clear();
testRequest.SetBegin("GET", "/get");
testRequest.SetHeader("Host", "http://httpbin.org");
testRequest.SetBody();

auto testClient = std::make_shared<CppServer::HTTP::HTTPClientEx>(service, "http://httpbin.org", "http");

testResponse.Clear();
testResponse = testClient->SendRequest(testRequest, CppCommon::Timespan::seconds(10)).get();

will, as Conrad pointed out, hang at the last line forever. Using the ipv4 address and port instead of the URL does not help either.
I also wonder why the timeout does not hit.
Sadly, like this, the library is not really useful.
