Making a POST call with JSON data using CPPREST C++ SDK

The source code here is the same as the C# version in the previous post. The client makes a simple call like that: 

	std::string value2 = "azertyuiopqsdfghjklmwxcvbn";
	std::string buffer = Base64Helper::base64_encode((const unsigned char*)value2.c_str(), value2.length());
	std::wstring value3(buffer.begin(), buffer.end());
	SetData(key, value3, value3.length(), dbname);

 

Here is the wrapper code for SetData. It’s included in HttpLMDB dll: 

bool HTTPLMDB_API SetData(std::wstring key, std::wstring valueb64, DWORD dwLen, std::wstring name)
{
	std::wstring port = Constants::MasterNodePort;
	std::wstring ip = ServerHelper::GetIP();
	std::wstring url = ServerHelper::BuildURL(ip, port);

	std::wstring contentType = _T("Content-Type");
	std::wstring contentTypeV = _T("application/json");
	std::wstring keepAlive = _T("Keep-Alive");
	std::wstring keepAliveV = _T("false");
	std::wstring contentLength = _T("Content-Length");
	
	std::wostringstream bufLen;
	bufLen << contentType.length() + contentTypeV.length() + keepAlive.length() + keepAliveV.length() + contentLength.length() + 4;
	std::wstring len = bufLen.str().c_str();

	std::wostringstream buf;
	buf << url << '/' << Constants::Request << Constants::VerbSetDataB64
		<< _T("&name=") << name;
	url = buf.str().c_str();	
	//{"key":"key_toto0","value":"value_toto0"}
	std::wostringstream bufjson;
	bufjson << "{" << '"' << "key" << '"' << ":" << '"' << key << '"' << ","
		<< '"' << "value" << '"' << ":" << '"' << valueb64 << '"' << '}';
	std::wstring jsonv = bufjson.str().c_str();
	//wcout << _T("jsonv : ") << jsonv << endl;

	http_client client_lmdb(url);
	http_request request(methods::POST);
	request.headers().add(contentType, contentTypeV);
	request.headers().add(keepAlive, keepAliveV);
	request.headers().add(contentLength, len);
	request.set_body(jsonv);

	http_response response;
	response = client_lmdb.request(request).get();

	wcout << response.to_string() << endl;

	return true;
}

 

Here is the code. It’s not very difficult.
