helloworld

this example shows the usage of QHttp as an HTTP server or a client.

##usage

$> ./helloworld -h

#Usage:
$> ./helloworld {mode} [options]

three different modes are available:

server

to start a new http server:

$> ./helloworld server --listen 8080

to stop the server just press the ctrl+c or send a command: quit as an http header to this server (by an http client).

sample clients:

# GET by curl
$> curl 127.0.0.1:8080/login/?username=admin
# send an http header to stop the server
$> curl -H "command: quit" 127.0.0.1:8080

# POST by curl, custom headers, custom body (data)
$> curl -X POST -H "my_key: my_value" -H "connection: close" \
 -d "this is http body of POST request" \
 127.0.0.1:8080/path/?cmd=have_fun

client

if the qhttp has been configured by QHTTP_HAS_CLIENT (in commondir.pri):

to fetch a custom http url:

$> ./helloworld client --url https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=qt+c%2B%2B11
$> ./helloworld client --url 127.0.0.1:8080

the client mode dumps both headers and body data.

weather

to fetch the weather information of your favorite city (by awesome wttr.in service):

$> ./helloworld weather --geolocation Tehran
$> ./helloworld weather --geolocation Paris,Fr

the result will be save into weather.html file, you can open it by a browser.
