使用AJAX和c ++ / cli与Web服务器进行交互

Question

I am writing a desktop program which I want to register on the first use through the web. on the registration it should get a message from the website of ok or not-ok.

I think that this interaction is very similar to AJAX, but my porgram is written in c++/cli.

What is the best way to interact with my website (server)?

I saw there are libraries for c++ and AJAX.

Mainly I saw wt and AJAX.NET.

Would AJAX.NET work with c++/cli?

is wt a good library for AJAX considering I have only one call to the server, isn't it an "overkill".

What is the simplest way to send a simple ajax request to my website (server)? Do I need a library at all?

Answer 1

I'd go with Wt .. their hello world app is a good place to start:

• Working Demo
• Simple Source code

I reckon have a play with that, and see how you feel about integrating it with your app.

Maybe you just want your application to do some HTTP requests (to a distant web server), so you need an HTTP client library usable from C++.

You could use libcurl for that purpose (it is a C library with HTTP client ability). If your application is graphical and uses Qt/KDE, you could also use the QtNetwork module or the QFtp or QHttp classes. If it uses Gtk/Gnome, use the libsoup library
