C++ Http/Https服务器和客户端库cpp-httplib

VS Https Server例子

首先需要下载安装OpenSSL，请自行百度
openssl 生成公钥、密钥及.pem文件
使用openssl 生成免费证书
使用openssl生成https证书
用Node.js创建自签名的HTTPS服务器

PEM转CRT文件：
openssl x509 -outform der -in your-cert.pem -out your-cert.crt

https服务端：

#include <chrono>
#include <cstdio>
#include <httplib.h>

#define SERVER_CERT_FILE "./cert.pem"
#define SERVER_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE "./key.pem"

using namespace httplib;

std::string dump_headers(const Headers &headers) {
  std::string s;
  char buf[BUFSIZ];

  for (auto it = headers.begin(); it != headers.end(); ++it) {
    const auto &x = *it;
    snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%s: %s\n", x.first.c_str(), x.second.c_str());
    s += buf;
  }

  return s;
}

std::string log(const Request &req, const Response &res) {
  std::string s;
  char buf[BUFSIZ];

  s += "================================\n";

  snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%s %s %s", req.method.c_str(),
           req.version.c_str(), req.path.c_str());
  s += buf;

  std::string query;
  for (auto it = req.params.begin(); it != req.params.end(); ++it) {
    const auto &x = *it;
    snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%c%s=%s",
             (it == req.params.begin()) ? ‘?‘ : ‘&‘, x.first.c_str(),
             x.second.c_str());
    query += buf;
  }
  snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%s\n", query.c_str());
  s += buf;

  s += dump_headers(req.headers);

  s += "--------------------------------\n";

  snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%d %s\n", res.status, res.version.c_str());
  s += buf;
  s += dump_headers(res.headers);
  s += "\n";

  if (!res.body.empty()) { s += res.body; }

  s += "\n";

  return s;
}

int main(void) {
#ifdef CPPHTTPLIB_OPENSSL_SUPPORT
  SSLServer svr(SERVER_CERT_FILE, SERVER_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE);
#else
  Server svr;
#endif

  if (!svr.is_valid()) {
    printf("server has an error...\n");
    return -1;
  }

  svr.Get("/", [=](const Request & /*req*/, Response &res) {
    res.set_redirect("/hi");
  });

  svr.Get("/hi", [](const Request & /*req*/, Response &res) {
    res.set_content("Hello World!\n", "text/plain");
  });

  svr.Get("/slow", [](const Request & /*req*/, Response &res) {
    std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::seconds(2));
    res.set_content("Slow...\n", "text/plain");
  });

  svr.Get("/dump", [](const Request &req, Response &res) {
    res.set_content(dump_headers(req.headers), "text/plain");
  });

  svr.Get("/stop",
          [&](const Request & /*req*/, Response & /*res*/) { svr.stop(); });

  svr.set_error_handler([](const Request & /*req*/, Response &res) {
    const char *fmt = "<p>Error Status: <span style=‘color:red;‘>%d</span></p>";
    char buf[BUFSIZ];
    snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), fmt, res.status);
    res.set_content(buf, "text/html");
  });

  svr.set_logger([](const Request &req, const Response &res) {
    printf("%s", log(req, res).c_str());
  });

  svr.listen("localhost", 8080);

  return 0;
}

Https客户端：

#include <httplib.h>
#include <iostream>

//#define CA_CERT_FILE "./ca-bundle.crt"
#define CA_CERT_FILE "./cacert.crt"

using namespace std;

int main(void) {
#ifdef CPPHTTPLIB_OPENSSL_SUPPORT
  httplib::SSLClient cli("localhost", 8080);
  // httplib::SSLClient cli("google.com");
  // httplib::SSLClient cli("www.youtube.com");
  cli.set_ca_cert_path(CA_CERT_FILE);
  cli.enable_server_certificate_verification(true);
#else
  httplib::Client cli("localhost", 8080);
#endif

  auto res = cli.Get("/hi");
  if (res) {
    cout << res->status << endl;
    cout << res->get_header_value("Content-Type") << endl;
    cout << res->body << endl;
  } else {
#ifdef CPPHTTPLIB_OPENSSL_SUPPORT
    auto result = cli.get_openssl_verify_result();
    if (result) {
      cout << "verify error: " << X509_verify_cert_error_string(result) << endl;
    }
#endif
  }

  return 0;
}

关于使用SSL的工程配置说明：
1、通过宏开关CPPHTTPLIB_OPENSSL_SUPPORT控制是否使用Https
2、若使用Https，加入openssl包含路径：C:\OpenSSL-Win64\include，加入openssl的导入库路径C:\OpenSSL-Win64\lib，并链接libcrypto.lib、libssl.lib、openssl.lib。
