Tiny HTTP client library in C.
Wraps native HTTP client functionality on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android in a single, simple non-blocking API.
Get the naett.c and naett.h files and throw them into your project. Check out the example for a basic Makefile - based setup.
The library needs to be initialized by a call to naettInit(). On Android, you need to provide a JavaVM* handle in the call to naettInit().
On the other platforms, call with NULL.
See naett.h for reference docs.
naett uses the following HTTP client libraries on each platform:
| Platform | Library / component | Build with |
|---|---|---|
| macOS, iOS | NSURLRequest | -framework Foundation |
| Windows | WinHTTP Sessions | -lwinhttp |
| Android | java.net.URL | NDK |
| Linux | libcurl | -lcurl -lpthread |

const char* body = naettGetBody(res, &bodyLength);

printf("%.100s\n...\n", body);
