Class HttpClient
Synopsis
#include <lib/inc/drogon/HttpClient.h>
class HttpClient : public trantor::NonCopyable
Description
Asynchronous http client.
HttpClient implementation object uses the HttpAppFramework's event loop by default, so you should call app().run() to make the client work. Each HttpClient object establishes a persistent connection with the server. If the connection is broken, the client attempts to reconnect when calling the sendRequest method.
Using the static mathod newHttpClient(...) to get shared_ptr of the object implementing the class, the shared_ptr is retained in the framework until all response callbacks are invoked without fear of accidental deconstruction.
