@class wxWebRequest
This class allows for simple HTTP requests using the operating system's
components as implementation.
The latest features of the operating system will be used if available
(e.g. HTTP/2, TLS 1.3).
System-wide configuration like proxy and SSL certificates will be used
when possible.
When using libcurl backend, environment variables `CURL_CA_BUNDLE`,
`SSL_CERT_FILE` and `SSL_CERT_DIR` are used to change the trusted
certificates location if they are defined.
Instances of wxWebRequest are created by using
wxWebSession::CreateRequest().
The requests are handled asynchronously and event handlers are used to
communicate the request status. See wxWebRequestSync for a class that can
be used to perform synchronous requests.
The response data may be stored in memory, to a file or processed directly,
see SetStorage() for details.
Example usage in an event handler function of some window (i.e. @c this in
the example below is a wxWindow pointer):
@code
// Create the request object
wxWebRequest request = wxWebSession::GetDefault().CreateRequest(
this,
"https://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/logos/blocks.png"
);
if ( !request.IsOk() ) {
// This is not expected, but handle the error somehow.
}
// Bind state event
Bind(wxEVT_WEBREQUEST_STATE, [](wxWebRequestEvent& evt) {
switch (evt.GetState())
{
// Request completed
case wxWebRequest::State_Completed:
{
wxImage logoImage(*evt.GetResponse().GetStream());
if (logoImage.IsOk())
wxLogInfo("Image successfully downloaded");
... do something with it ...
break;
}
// Request failed
case wxWebRequest::State_Failed:
wxLogError("Could not load logo: %s", evt.GetErrorDescription());
break;
}
});
// Start the request
request.Start();
@endcode
The location of where files are downloaded can also be defined prior to any request
by passing unique IDs to `wxWebSession::GetDefault().CreateRequest()` and processing
them in your @c wxEVT_WEBREQUEST_STATE handler. For example, create a map of IDs with
their respective download paths prior to creating any requests. For each call to
`wxWebSession::GetDefault().CreateRequest()`, pass in the webpath to download and an ID
from your map. Then, in your @c wxEVT_WEBREQUEST_STATE handler, get the ID from the
@c wxWebRequestEvent object and look it up from your ID map. Here, you can access the
download path that you assigned to this ID and proceed to save the file to that location.
@section apple_http macOS and iOS App Transport Security
Starting with macOS 10.11 and iOS 9 an application cannot create insecure
connections (this includes HTTP and unverified HTTPS). You have to include
additional fields in your Info.plist to enable such connections.
For further details see the documentation on NSAppTransportSecurity
