如果您比較有耐心，建議從頭至尾讀完這篇文章。如果您只想快速應用 C 語言的 HTTP GET 連接功能，可以直接跳到文末拷貝源代碼去使用。
1、HTTP 連接的流程
HTTP 連接都是建立在 TCP 連接之上的。這里我們不討論 TCP 的三次握手四次揮手過程。我們只單純地來分析下一個 HTTP 連接的過程應該是怎樣的。
首先，我們需要創建一個 TCP 的 Socket 。后面我們的網絡連接操作都是基于這個 Socket 來構建的。
其次，我們需要來組裝一下 HTTP 請求。就是封裝一個 GET 請求，表明一下我們想要連接哪個服務器的哪些資源。當然，其實第 1 步和第 2 步的順序并不重要。
第三步，我們需要發送 HTTP GET 請求了，將前面封裝好的請求信息通過前面創建好的 TCP 通道發送出去。
第四步，讀取服務端的返回結果。
2、代碼實操
1、創建 Socket
int sockfd;
//創建套接字
if ((sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) < 0 ) {
printf("socket failed!!!\n");
exit(0);
}沒什么好說的，照著做就好了。
2、封裝 HTTP 請求
char request[512] = {0};
memset(request, 0, 512);
strcat(request, "GET ");
strcat(request, "/index.html");
strcat(request, " HTTP/1.1\n");
strcat(request, "Host: ");
strcat(request, "192.168.221.30");
strcat(request, "\nContent-Type: text/html\n");
strcat(request, "Content-Length: 0\n");
strcat(request, "\r\n");上面加粗標灰底的部分分別是要訪問的資源路徑以及服務器地址。其中服務器地址并不是很重要，但是上面的資源路徑一定不能錯！
3、發起 HTTP 請求
struct sockaddr_in servaddr; int writeRet;
bzero(&servaddr, sizeof(servaddr));
servaddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
servaddr.sin_port = htons(80);
if (inet_pton(AF_INET, "192.168.221.30", &servaddr.sin_addr) <= 0 ){
printf("inet_pton error!\n");
exit(0);
} if (connect(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&servaddr, sizeof(servaddr)) < 0){
printf("connect error!\n");
exit(0);
}
writeRet = write(sockfd, request, strlen(request)); if (writeRet < 0) {
printf("make http error:%d,%s\n", errno, strerror(errno));
exit(0);
}上面加粗標灰底的地址就很重要了，一定不能填錯，而且只能填 IP 地址。那個部分的 inet_pton 函數的作用是將字符串形式的 IPV4 地址轉換成二進制形式的。如果是 IPV6 地址，則要用 inet_ntop 函數。
4、讀取返回結果
struct timeval tv; int selectRet = 0;
fd_set t_set1;
sleep(2);
tv.tv_sec= 0;
tv.tv_usec= 0;
FD_ZERO(&t_set1);
FD_SET(sockfd, &t_set1);
selectRet = select(sockfd + 1, &t_set1, NULL, NULL, &tv); if (selectRet < 0) {
close(sockfd);
printf("select failed!\n"); return;
} if (selectRet > 0){ char buf[4096] = {0}; int readLen = 0;
memset(buf, 0, 4096);
readLen = read(sockfd, buf, 4095); // read once only!
printf("readLen:%d\n", readLen);
printf("\n\n%s\n\n", buf);
}上示代碼最后會將讀取的結果保存到 buf 數組中并打印出來。
5、關閉 Socket
close(sockfd);
printf("Bye!\n");最后，用完 HTTP 通信以后，一定不要忘記關閉剛才打開的資源。
筆者這邊通過 nginx 搭建了一個模擬服務器，與這份代碼調試，一切正常。可以在控制臺上得到如下回復
hello world-------------GET /index.html HTTP/1.1Host: 192.168.221.30Content-Type: text/html

再接下來，就是根據自己的實際需要，去做業務層的處理了。
