EasyHttp

A cross-platform HTTP client library with a focus on usability and speed. Under its hood, EasyHttp uses POCO C++ Libraries and derives many of its design inspirations from okHttp, a well known HTTP client for Android and Java applications. Please check out Wiki for details.

Why another HTTP client?

Modern network applications need a powerful HTTP client. While we already have many well known C++ HTTP clients like, Poco::Net, Boost.Asio, cpprestsdk to name a few, they often lack features like a powerful response cache, HTTP connection pooling, debuggability etc which we all take it for granted for libraries targeted towards Android or iOS platforms. EasyHttp tries to fill that gap.

Features

• Powerful and easy to use HTTP client with synchronous and asynchronous apis.
• HTTP connection pooling support to reduce latency.
• HTTP response caching to optimize repeat requests.
• Hackable HTTP request/response with a concept of okHttp style Interceptors.
• Cross-platform and highly portable to many platforms.
• Automatic recovery during faulty network connections.
• Secure by default. Obsolete protocols like SSLv2, SSLv3 are disabled by default.
• Comprehensibly tested and is used internally in various Sony projects.
