C ++ Allow host IP from URL

Question

How can I resolve the host IP given the URL in Visual C ++?

Answer 1

To use the socket functions under Windows, you need to start by calling WSAStartup, specifying the version of Winsock that you want (for your purposes, 1.1 will work fine). Then you can call gethostbynameto get the host address. When you are done, you should call WSACleanup. Putting it all together, you get something like this:

#include <windows.h>
#include <winsock.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <exception>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iomanip>

class use_WSA { 
    WSADATA d; 
    WORD ver;
public:
    use_WSA() : ver(MAKEWORD(1,1)) { 
        if ((WSAStartup(ver, &d)!=0) || (ver != d.wVersion))
            throw(std::runtime_error("Error starting Winsock"));
    }
    ~use_WSA() { WSACleanup(); }    
};

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    if ( argc < 2 ) {
        std::cerr << "Usage: resolve <hostname>";
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }

    try { 
        use_WSA x;

        hostent *h = gethostbyname(argv[1]);
        unsigned char *addr = reinterpret_cast<unsigned char *>(h->h_addr_list[0]);
        std::copy(addr, addr+4, std::ostream_iterator<unsigned int>(std::cout, "."));
    }
    catch (std::exception const &exc) {
        std::cerr << exc.what() << "\n";
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }

    return 0;
}

Edit: remote code to set the base to 16 - IP addresses are usually printed in decimal.

                break;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        puts (inet_ntoa (*((struct in_addr *) he->h_addr_list[0])));
    }

    uninitialise ();

    return he != NULL;
}

Answer 3

URL-, . gethostbyname API , IP- (). HTTP-, HostName, .

Answer 4

struct hostent *he;

if ((he = gethostbyname("localhost") == NULL) {
    // Handle error: Failed
}

IP- he->h_addr. , linux , , .

Answer 5

gethostbyname?
