A Marmalade-friendly wrapper around libcurl. HttpClient will automatically spawn and manage worker threads to allow fast parallel downloads.

For general usage info, see the example in HttpUtils.cpp

You can also subclass HttpClient and/or HttpRequest to create things like:

• A file downloader
• A YouTube API Client (example included in the youtube folder)
• A client for your custom API
• etc.

Or, you can use the included HttpClient or HttpDownloader for basic GET/POST/PUT requests.

HTTPS support is included and enabled, however it will not work out of the box unless you correctly configure OpenSSL/CURL to be able to verify the certificates of the server[s] you use. See HttpClient_WorkerThread() in HttpClient.cpp for a comment describing how to disable certificate checks if you want a quick-and-dirty insecure way to test an HTTPS connection.

This includes a patched version of libcurl 7.34.0.

The patch is applied to source/http.c line 2425 in Curl_http():

// Due to an unfortunate bug with Marmalade, any attempt to pass
// "long long" types like curl_off_t as a variadic parameter
// corrupt the value on GCC ARM RELEASE builds on iOS.
// So we have to downcast to an int and hope the user is not trying
// any really large files (over 4GB)
unsigned long int size_fix = (unsigned long int)postsize;
result = Curl_add_bufferf(req_buffer, "Content-Length: %ld\r\n",
                          size_fix);
//result = Curl_add_bufferf(req_buffer,
//                          "Content-Length: %" FORMAT_OFF_T"\r\n",
//                          postsize);
