C和c++没有用于HTTP甚至套接字连接的标准库。多年来，一些便携式图书馆已经被开发出来。正如其他人所说，使用最广泛的是libcurl。

下面是libcurl的替代品列表(来自libcurl的网站)。

另外，对于Linux，这是一个简单的HTTP客户机。您可以实现自己的简单HTTP GET客户端，但如果涉及到身份验证或重定向，或者需要在代理后工作，则这将不起作用。对于这些情况，您需要像libcurl这样成熟的库。

对于使用libcurl的源代码，这是最接近您想要的(libcurl有许多示例)。看看主要功能。成功连接后，html内容将被复制到缓冲区。只需用自己的函数替换parseHtml即可。

你可以使用ACE这样做:

#include "ace/SOCK_Connector.h"

int main(int argc, ACE_TCHAR* argv[])
{
    //HTTP Request Header
    char* szRequest = "GET /video/nice.mp4 HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: example.com\r\n\r\n"; 
    int ilen = strlen(szRequest);

    //our buffer
    char output[16*1024];

    ACE_INET_Addr server (80, "example.com");
    ACE_SOCK_Stream peer;
    ACE_SOCK_Connector connector;
    int ires = connector.connect(peer, server);
    int sum = 0;
    peer.send(szRequest, ilen);
    while (true)
    {
        ACE_Time_Value timeout = ACE_Time_Value(15);
        int rc = peer.recv_n(output, 16*1024, &timeout);
        if (rc == -1)
        {
            break;
        }
        sum += rc;
    }
    peer.close();
    printf("Bytes transffered: %d",sum);

    return 0;
}

注意，这并不需要libcurl, Windows.h，或WinSock!没有编译库，没有项目配置，等等。我有这段代码在Windows 10上的Visual Studio 2017 c++中工作:

#pragma comment(lib, "urlmon.lib")

#include <urlmon.h>
#include <sstream>

using namespace std;

...

IStream* stream;
//Also works with https URL's - unsure about the extent of SSL support though.
HRESULT result = URLOpenBlockingStream(0, "http://google.com", &stream, 0, 0);
if (result != 0)
{
    return 1;
}
char buffer[100];
unsigned long bytesRead;
stringstream ss;
stream->Read(buffer, 100, &bytesRead);
while (bytesRead > 0U)
{
    ss.write(buffer, (long long)bytesRead);
    stream->Read(buffer, 100, &bytesRead);
}
stream->Release();
string resultString = ss.str();

我只是想出了如何做到这一点，因为我想要一个简单的API访问脚本，像libcurl这样的库给我带来了各种各样的问题(即使我遵循了说明……)，而WinSock只是太低级和复杂了。

我不太确定所有的IStream读取代码(特别是while条件-请随意纠正/改进)，但嘿，它工作，麻烦!(这对我来说是有意义的，因为我使用了一个阻塞(同步)调用，这是很好的，bytesRead将始终是> 0U，直到流(ISequentialStream?)完成读取，但谁知道呢。)

请参见:URL名称和异步可插协议参考

cesanta的猫鼬库似乎也支持这一点:https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/blob/6.17/examples/http_client/http_client.c

c++没有提供任何直接实现它的方法。这完全取决于你拥有什么样的平台和库。

在最坏的情况下，您可以使用boost::asio库来建立TCP连接，发送HTTP报头(RFC 2616)，并直接解析响应。查看您的应用程序需求，这很简单。
