Session

The session-level API is implemented in the quest::Session class.

It allows you to easily retain settings between requests. Similar to the requests API, the only required setting is a quest::Url object. Settings are changed via an assortment of setter functions, using the naming convention of Session::Set<Setting>. You can see the up-to-date list of functions and their parameters in the session.hh header file.

quest::Session has member functions for each request type as shown below:

quest::Session sess;
quest::Response res;

sess.SetUrl(quest::Url("https://httpbin.org/get"));
res = sess.Get();

sess.SetUrl(quest::Url("https://httpbin.org/post"));
res = sess.Post();

sess.SetUrl(quest::Url("https://httpbin.org/delete"));
res = sess.Delete();

sess.SetUrl(quest::Url("https://httpbin.org/put"));
res = sess.Put();

sess.SetUrl(quest::Url("https://httpbin.org/patch"));
res = sess.Patch();
