C++ Compile problem with WinHttp/Windows SDK

Tags:

sdk

Trying to compile a sample http class with the SDK, and getting some strange link errors... I am sure its something to do with a missing option, or directory...

I am no expert in c++ as you can see, but looking for any assistance.

I included my sample class. I also did install the Windows SDK. If you need any other information about my setups or anything, please ask. I'd prefer someone point me to a working WinHttp SDK sample project.

//START OF utils.cpp
#pragma once
#include "stdafx.h"

class http
{
public:
    http();
    ~http();

    std::string getText();

};
//END OF utils.cpp

//START OF utils.cpp
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "utils.h"

http::http()
{
}

http::~http()
{
}

std::string http::getText()
{
    DWORD dwSize = 0;
    DWORD dwDownloaded = 0;
    LPSTR pszOutBuffer;
    BOOL  bResults = FALSE;
    HINTERNET  hSession = NULL, 
        hConnect = NULL,
        hRequest = NULL;

    // Use WinHttpOpen to obtain a session handle.
    hSession = WinHttpOpen( L"WinHTTP Example/1.0",  
        WINHTTP_ACCESS_TYPE_DEFAULT_PROXY,
        WINHTTP_NO_PROXY_NAME, 
        WINHTTP_NO_PROXY_BYPASS, 0 );

    // Specify an HTTP server.
    if( hSession )
        hConnect = WinHttpConnect( hSession, L"www.microsoft.com",
        INTERNET_DEFAULT_HTTPS_PORT, 0 );

    // Create an HTTP request handle.
    if( hConnect )
        hRequest = WinHttpOpenRequest( hConnect, L"GET", NULL,
        NULL, WINHTTP_NO_REFERER, 
        WINHTTP_DEFAULT_ACCEPT_TYPES, 
        WINHTTP_FLAG_SECURE );

    // Send a request.
    if( hRequest )
        bResults = WinHttpSendRequest( hRequest,
        WINHTTP_NO_ADDITIONAL_HEADERS, 0,
        WINHTTP_NO_REQUEST_DATA, 0, 
        0, 0 );


    // End the request.
    if( bResults )
        bResults = WinHttpReceiveResponse( hRequest, NULL );

    // Keep checking for data until there is nothing left.
    if( bResults )

                GetLastError( ) );

            // Allocate space for the buffer.
            pszOutBuffer = new char[dwSize+1];
            if( !pszOutBuffer )
            {

                dwSize=0;
            }
            else
            {

                ZeroMemory( pszOutBuffer, dwSize+1 );

                delete [] pszOutBuffer;
            }
        } while( dwSize > 0 );
    }


    // Report any errors.
    if( !bResults )
        printf( "Error %d has occurred.\n", GetLastError( ) );

    // Close any open handles.

If you check the MSDN reference for the WinHttp* functions you will see that you need to link with the library Winhttp.lib.

Open the project settings, select the linker options then 'input' and add WinHttp.lib to the 'Additional Dependencies' list.

Or you could put

#pragma comment(lib, "winhttp.lib")

(as previously mentioned) in your source code.

You need to link to winhttp.lib

Change the project settings or add this line to your .cpp file

#pragma comment(lib, "winhttp")

You've not added the WinHttp library to your link list.

Make sure you are linking with Winhttp.lib.
