I've been searching around and have come to a stop with this thing.
I basically get these errors here:
1>Client.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > __cdecl HTTP_POST_REQUEST(char *,class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >,class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >)" (?HTTP_POST_REQUEST@@YA?AV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@PADV12@1@Z) referenced in function "public: virtual void __thiscall Client::Send(void)" (?Send@Client@@UAEXXZ)
1>G:\Development\C++\Client\Debug\Client.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
To my knowledge I think it's that Client.obj is not getting compiled with the program (don't quote me on this)? But I have read that it might be some linking problems or something like that. To me it seems that I've done everythign right (but clearly I haven't).
Client.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
#include "HttpUtils.h"
#include "Client.h"
Client::Client() {
cout << "Works!" << endl;
}
void Client::Send() {
string res = HTTP_POST_REQUEST("localhost", "/test.php", "data1=data&data2=data");
cout << res << endl;
}
Client.h
#pragma once
#include <string>
using namespace std;
#ifndef CLIENT__H
#define CLIENT__H
class Client {
public:
Client();
virtual void Send();
};
#endif
main.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
#include "Client.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
Client mainClient;
Client* client1 = &mainClient;
client1->Send();
cin.get();
}
Any and all help is great! Thanks!

Client->Send();in yourmain? Shouldn't it beclient1->Send();?HTTP_POST_REQUEST()implemented? Is there some library that you forgot to link?HttpUtils.htoo.Unresolved External Symbolerror often comes when it finds the prototype of the function which you're calling, but can't find the implementation, so double check whetherHttpUtils.cppis included in your project or not.
