any possible way to get the request stream?

[Li Hui]

i tried this:

#include "httplib.h"
#include <array>
#include <asio.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <regex>

int main()
{
    asio::io_context io_context;

    httplib::Client client("httpbin.org");

    httplib::Headers headers = {{"Content-Type", "application/json"}};
    httplib::Request req;
    req.path = "/post";
    req.method = "POST";
    req.headers = headers;
    auto body = R"({"x": 1, "y": 2})";
    req.body = body;

    httplib::detail::BufferStream bstrm;
    auto error = httplib::Error::Success;
    bool s = client.cli_->write_request(bstrm, req, true, error);

    return 0;
}

but the cli_ and write_request are private method, i need to tweak the source code, is there any other possible way to get the request stream? then i can perform asio send.

A simple answer is no. The stream object is managed only by cpp-httplib and hidden from users.
If you want to do 'streaming', please use a content provider.
