    Asyncronous WinHttp

    Hi all.

    I'm not used with windows programming at all to begin with. I'm more used with curl. However. I got to use Windows API this time, and I'm trying to get a hang of WinHttp but obviously get something wrong.

    I wrote a little piece of code to go through the logic I need, but it segfaults. Can someone be so nice and point out where I'm going wrong?

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <assert.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    
    #include <windows.h>
    #include <winhttp.h>
    
    void http_callback(HINTERNET sess, DWORD_PTR ctx, DWORD sts, LPVOID info, DWORD infosz) {
    
    	printf("Status: 0x%08x\n", sts);
    	fflush(stdout);
    
    }
    int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    
    	int r;
    	HINTERNET sess;
    	HINTERNET conn;
    	HINTERNET requ;
    	
    	sess = WinHttpOpen(
    		L"winhttp-test",
    		WINHTTP_ACCESS_TYPE_DEFAULT_PROXY,
    		WINHTTP_NO_PROXY_NAME,
    		WINHTTP_NO_PROXY_BYPASS,
    		WINHTTP_FLAG_ASYNC);
    	assert(sess);
    
    	r = (int) WinHttpSetStatusCallback(
    		sess,
    		(WINHTTP_STATUS_CALLBACK) http_callback,
    		WINHTTP_CALLBACK_FLAG_ALL_NOTIFICATIONS,
    		0);
    	assert(r != -1);
    
    	conn = WinHttpConnect(
    		sess,
    		L"www.google.com",
    		INTERNET_DEFAULT_HTTPS_PORT,
    		0);
    	assert(conn);
    
    	requ = WinHttpOpenRequest(
    		conn,
    		L"GET",
    		L"/index.html",
    		NULL,
    		WINHTTP_NO_REFERER,
    		WINHTTP_DEFAULT_ACCEPT_TYPES,
    		WINHTTP_FLAG_SECURE);
    	assert(requ);
    	
    	r = WinHttpSendRequest(
    		requ,
    		WINHTTP_NO_ADDITIONAL_HEADERS,
    		0,
    		NULL,
    		0,
    		0,
    		0);
    
    	assert(r);
    
    	printf("Request sent!\n");
    
    	Sleep(10000);
    
    	return EXIT_SUCCESS;
    
    }
    The output of this program simply gets...
    Code:
    Status: 0x00000400
    ...and then it crashes.

    Thanks.

    Did you compiler it with NDEBUG defined or not defined?

    If defined, try not defining it!

    The assert statements are removed from created code if NDEBUG is defined.
