c++ HTTP-client with the smallest docker image

A c++ HTTP Client based on curl with the smallest docker image size out there :).

HTTP-request-builder

Basically the builder handles the interactions with libcurl, all you need to do is add your HTTP request layers and send 🪃

How to run

Easy way

$ docker pull https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/abbasebnfernas/curl-cpp-multiarch/general
$ docker run -d abbasebnfernas/curl-cpp-multiarch:latest

another way

build docker image

# build image
$ docker build -t http_requests_client_test .
# create a container and run it
$ docker run -d --name http_client_container http_requests_client_test:latest

example code using the HttpBuilder

// builder pattern 
// send requests with ease 

static constexpr char IMP_HEADER_KEY[] = "head-key";
static constexpr char IMP_HEADER_VALUE[] = "some-value";


HttpRequestBuilder HttpBuilder(HttpRequestBuilder::GET_REQUEST, "https://abbas.requestcatcher.com/test");

std::unique_ptr<HttpRequest> httpRequest = HttpBuilder
                            .addJWTtokenToHeader("token")
                            .addDataToHeader(IMP_HEADER_KEY, IMP_HEADER_VALUE)
                            .build();

if (httpRequest->send() == CURLE_OK)
    std::cout << "[" << httpRequest->getResponse() << "]\n";

if you didn't use docker change in the CMake

set(curl_installation_dir "<curl installation path (.so) libs path>")
# if it's installed globally in /usr/lib you can remove this line from cmake
