naett /nɛt:/
Tiny HTTP client library in C.
Wraps native HTTP client functionality on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android in a single, simple non-blocking API.
Using naett
Get the naett.c and naett.h files and throw them into your project. Check out the example for a basic Makefile - based setup.
The library needs to be initialized by a call to naettInit(). On Android, you need to provide a JavaVM* handle in the call to naettInit(). On the other platforms, call with NULL.
See naett.h for reference docs.
Platform implementations
naett uses the following HTTP client libraries on each platform:
| Platform | Library / component | Build with |
|---|---|---|
| macOS, iOS | NSURLRequest | -framework Foundation |
| Windows | WinHTTP Sessions | -lwinhttp |
| Android | java.net.URL | NDK |
| Linux | libcurl | -lcurl -lpthread |
Example
#include
int main(int argc, char** argv) { naettInit(NULL); naettReq* req = naettRequest("https://foo.site.net", naettMethod("GET"), naettHeader("accept", "application/json")); naettRes* res = naettMake(req); while (!naettComplete(res)) { usleep(100 * 1000); } if (naettGetStatus(res) < 0) { printf("Request failed\n"); return 1; } int bodyLength = 0; const char* body = naettGetBody(res, &bodyLength); printf("Got %d bytes of type '%s':\n", bodyLength, naettGetHeader(res, "Content-Type")); printf("%.100s\n...\n", body); }">
#include "naett.h" #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char** argv) { naettInit(NULL); naettReq* req = naettRequest("https://foo.site.net", naettMethod("GET"), naettHeader("accept", "application/json")); naettRes* res = naettMake(req); while (!naettComplete(res)) { usleep(100 * 1000); } if (naettGetStatus(res) < 0) { printf("Request failed\n"); return 1; } int bodyLength = 0; const char* body = naettGetBody(res, &bodyLength); printf("Got %d bytes of type '%s':\n", bodyLength, naettGetHeader(res, "Content-Type")); printf("%.100s\n...\n", body); }
