extra data present in body

[cryguy]

when writing the response body to a file, i found that it contained extra unwanted data. I was trying to make it get a file from a api, the data is in base64 and it appends value before the expected data

the expected result =

Any help would be appreciated

used code -

httplib::SSLClient client("example.com", 443);
auto logincheck = "/load?username=" + user + "&product=" + product;
const char* chr = _strdup(logincheck.c_str());
auto res = client.get(chr);
if (res && res->status == 200)
encoded << res->body;

sorry for the bad code format

edit : found that it might be caused by it displaying chunks as the server is sending it with "Transfer-Encoding: chunked"

@cryguy, thanks for the report. Yes, this is caused by the server sending the body data with 'HTTP/1.1 Chunked transfer encoding'.

httplib::SSLClient sends a HTTP request with 'HTTP/1.0". (code)
But it seems like the server doesn't respect the HTTP version of the client request and send the chunked data.

If 'ignoring HTTP version' is a common behavior of popular HTTP server such as Apache or nginx. I am thinking to support the HTTP/1.1 Chunked transfer encoding in httplib::SSLClient and httplib::Client when I have time.

Thanks!
