how to read from web page

Posted 18 October 2010 - 02:12 AM

Hey there code wizards,

I have been asked by my boss how to read from a webpage, I have an electronics background and know nothing about networking so I am afraid I will have to have this simplified, sorry!

I have already found a c++ library urlmon.h which has a method downloadtofile() but my boss says that that is unsatisfactory as he doesn't want to download the file.

I have looked all over the web for the answer and found all sorts of complicated libraries like libcurl but I cannot get them to compile properly. Does anyone have a simple alternative for a novice socket programmer?

thanks very much

May be a site glitch. May be not. :P

MODS - Please remove other two.
