Question

I need to create simple HTTP request with Windows Phone 8 C++/CX. Where could I find an example?

This http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/windowsphone/develop/jj662956(v=vs.105).aspx document says IXMLHTTPRequest2 should be supported but I have no idea how to enable it in my project. It is just a standard Windows phone Direct3d native app?

Microsoft’s example for IXMLHTTPRequest2, worked for me in windows phone 8 c++/cx

The only changed I needed to do, was for CreateStreamOverRandomAccessStream which is not implemented in WP8.

Rewrite this method:

void HttpRequest::CreateMemoryStream(IStream **stream)
{
   auto randomAccessStream = ref new Windows::Storage::Streams::InMemoryRandomAccessStream();
   CheckHResult(CreateStreamOverRandomAccessStream(randomAccessStream, IID_PPV_ARGS(stream)));
}

To this:

void HttpRequest::CreateMemoryStream(IStream** stream)
{   
    checkHResult(::CreateStreamOnHGlobal(0, TRUE, stream));
}
