The process of implementing HTTP access includes the following steps:
1. First, we open a Session to get a HINTERNET session handle;
2. Then we use this session handle to connect to the server to get a HINTERNET connect handle;
3. Then we use this connect handle to open Http request gets a HINTERNET request handle;
4. At this time, we can use this request handle to send data and read the data returned from the server;
5. Finally, close the request, connect, and session handles in turn.
Microsoft provides two sets of http access interfaces: WinHTTP and WinINet. WinHTTP is more secure and robust than WinINet, and it can be considered that WinHTTP is an upgraded version of WinINet. These two APIs contain many similar functions and macro definitions, and the access process is completely similar (the above 5 steps). This article mainly implements the post request method through WinHTTP, and explains it strictly in accordance with the above five steps.
And because the data I received was UTF8 instead of ASCII, the data I received at the beginning was garbled. In the following code, I will explain in detail the cause of the garbled code and how to solve it.
Okay, Xiao Er, go to the code!

//解析上述header信息会发现服务器返回数据的charset为uft-8。这意味着后面需要对获取到的raw data进行宽字符转换。一开始由于没有意识到需要进行转换所以得到的数据都是乱码。
//出现乱码的原因是:HTTP在传输过程中是二值的,它并没有text或者是unicode的概念。HTTP使用7bit的ASCII码作为HTTP headers,但是内容是任意的二值数据,需要根据header中指定的编码方式来描述它(通常是Content-Type header).
//因此当你接收到原始的HTTP数据时,先将其保存到char[] buffer中,然后利用WinHttpQueryHearders()获取HTTP头,得到内容的Content-Type,这样你就知道数据到底是啥类型的了,是ASCII还是Unicode或者其他。
//一旦你知道了具体的编码方式,你就可以通过MultiByteToWideChar()将其转换成合适编码的字符,存入wchar_t[]中。
//关于乱码的解决方案请看4-4
//4-3. 获取服务器返回数据

if (!pszOutBuffer){
cout<<"Out of memory."<<endl;
break;
}
ZeroMemory(pszOutBuffer, dwSize + 1); //将buffer置0
//(3) 通过WinHttpReadData读取服务器的返回数据
if (!WinHttpReadData(hRequest,pszOutBuffer, dwSize, &dwDownloaded)){
cout << "Error:WinHttpQueryDataAvailable failed:" << GetLastError() << endl;
}
if (!dwDownloaded)
break;
} while (dwSize > 0);
//4-4. 将返回数据转换成UTF8
DWORD dwNum = MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, pszOutBuffer, -1, NULL, 0); //返回原始ASCII码的字符数目
pwText = new wchar_t[dwNum]; //根据ASCII码的字符数分配UTF8的空间
MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, 0, pszOutBuffer, -1, pwText, dwNum); //将ASCII码转换成UTF8
printf("Received contents: \n%S", pwText);
}
//5. 依次关闭request,connect,session句柄
if (hRequest) WinHttpCloseHandle(hRequest);
if (hConnect) WinHttpCloseHandle(hConnect);
if (hSession) WinHttpCloseHandle(hSession);
