[RESOLVED] How to setup an HttpListener in C++

[szlamany]

In VB.Net code I have this:

Private m_listener As HttpListener = Nothing
.
.
.
    Private Sub RequestRcvd(ByVal result As IAsyncResult)
        Dim context As HttpListenerContext = m_listener.EndGetContext(result)
        m_listener.BeginGetContext(New AsyncCallback(AddressOf RequestRcvd), Nothing)

this is running in a proof-of-concept app. This VB.Net app calls C++ functions that analyze strings and put results into arrays. These arrays are processed in the VB.Net app after the C++ unmanaged functions are called.

At any rate - I want all of this in C++ now.

So the first part is how to call these types of functions - which are in HTTP.SYS I believe.

Can I somehow look at the function source for these .Net library functions?

Anyone here ever do http calls from c++???

No. All I can do is to suggest various web sites for info.

Hey szlamany. I would recommend looking at libcurl (http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/) for HTTP requests. HTTP is only one of the protocols it supports, it's a neat library.

Thanks for all those links.

Atheist - have you used libcurl in any fashion?

[Atheist]

Yeah I have! It's the library for HTTP communication in C and C++

Excellent - that is the whole reason I posted!!

Thanks!
