Host Client Example

The HostClient is useful when calling an API from a single host. The example sets MaxResponseBodySize so an untrusted response cannot consume unbounded memory. The example also shows how to use URI. You may create the parsed URI once and reuse it in many requests. The URI has a username and password for Basic Auth but you may also set other parts i.e. SetPath(), SetQueryString().

How to build and run

Start a web server on localhost:8080 then execute:

make
./host_client
