httprequest - HTTP Requests in C++ without external libraries? -


so question has been asked before, general answer pointed using external library such curlpp. curious if http requests done using standard libraries of c++14. how difficult be?

say example, wanted xml document , store in string parsed. steps have taken achieve this?

if curious, i'm doing learning experience better understand how http requests work.

it sounds me want implement http protocol scratch on top of posix sockets api. have done myself, quite fun.

read sockets api here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/berkeley_sockets

if want work on windows, see here.

this link, posted in comments, provides pretty starting-point example using api, although weirdly includes both client , server serial logic within same program -- may allow bypass of calls (such waiting incoming connections) required implement client or server standalone program.

assuming implementing http server in c++, might choose implement client web page (running on favorite browser), following hack demonstrates...

<html> <head> </head> <body> web page sends entered text server upon button press. server's response displayed in box below. hack learning purposes, , not demonstration of best-practices. <br> <textarea id="inp"> hello world! </textarea> <br> <button onclick="return make_request('inp','get','test1')">get request</button> <button onclick="return make_request('inp','post','test2')">post request</button> <div id="result" style='border-style:solid;'>?</div> <script> function make_request( textid, request_type, webfn )    {    var url = "" + "?webfn="+webfn // assumes page served same server    if ( request_type != 'post' ) url += "&value="+document.getelementbyid(textid).value;    var req = new xmlhttprequest();    req.open( request_type, url, /*async*/false );    req.send( request_type=='post' ? document.getelementbyid(textid).value : null );    if ( req.readystate == 4/*complete*/ && req.status == 200/*ok*/ )       {       result = req.responsexml.documentelement.getelementsbytagname('value')[0].firstchild.data;       document.getelementbyid('result').innerhtml = req.responsetext;       }    else alert("http request failed");    return false;    } </script> </body> </html>

javascript - Complete OpenIDConnect auth when requesting via Ajax -

the normal openidconnect server works like: you go a.com/secure-resource you 302 server your browser handles , sends identity server you login there it sends a.com via post you logged in on a.com , a.com/secure-resource on browser. however have scenario i'm trying solve need help. the user logged in on idserver the user logged in on a.com the user not logged in on b.com we need send ajax call web server b.com (from domain a.com ) b.com configured use openidconnect. but because request b.com via ajax, user cannot redirected idserver. (all in response 302 ) we can go ahead , handle 302 via ajax (i'm still not sure whether work, security-wise). but is there scenario in identityserver/openidconnect designed these situations? with identityserver in scenario setup server b.com use bearer token authentication, need use access token provided a.com in headers of ajax call $.ajax({ url: 'http://b.com', headers: { ...
