Using my code to set the url option?

[nvangogh]

Hello,

In the examples the url option always seems to be hard coded into the programs. I am seeking to set the url option depending upon selections made by the user at the command line. This is probably easily done, but I am new to using libcurl and curlpp and cannot figure out how to do it. So for example:

#include <iostream>

#include <string>

#include <curlpp/cURLpp.hpp>

#include <curlpp/Easy.hpp>

#include <curlpp/Options.hpp>

int main()

{

  // code selection of a url

  cURLpp::Cleanup mycleanup;

  int option;

  curlpp::options::Url myurl;

  std::cout << "Input option '1' for uk or option '2' for us \n";

  std::cin >> option;

  switch(option)

    {

    case 1:

      std::cout << "Option 1 selected...\n";

      myurl = "http://www.uk.co.uk";

      break;

    case 2:

      std::cout << "Option 2 selected...\n";

      myurl = "http://www.us.com";

      break;

    }

  

  

  return 0;

}

This code does not compile but i am trying to achieve something similar to this with my code. 

As an alternative to help explain my problem, consider this:

curlpp::options::Url myurl(std::string("https://www.google.com"));

Now if that was the url i wanted to use all the time - that would be fine. But depending upon selection of an option in my code, i might want to set the target url to "http:www.lycos.com" or perhaps "http://www.yahoo.com". In other words, the target url only becomes known at runtime and is dependant upon a user selection at the command line.

From what I can understand, the documentation appears to say that url takes the following argument (const char *link) - so can what i seek be achieved with a pointer or reference to a string? I would appreciate a snippet of code if you are able to help with this.

 

thanks

You can put variable "url". Either you can put it from any command line or call from some other function or define some constant in header file.

For example:

 

int querySend(CString csURL)
{

 

       int cucRetCode;
      
     curl_easy_init();
 
    curl_easy_setopt(cuhpCurlHandle,CURLOPT_URL,csURL) ;
 
     cucRetCode = curl_easy_perform(cuhpCurlHandle);
 
    return cucRetCode;
}
