HTTP POST request

[user123]

I am trying to perform a POST request, but my code is not working so I'd like to know any alternative methods.

Im looking for an easier method without using sockets.
I.e. WinInet, which I use to make a succesful GET request.
What method should I use? I really hate sockets, I like to keep it simple.

If you are wondering, this is my failed attempt: (its a mess I know)

void NewHttpPost()
{
	SOCKET Socket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
	struct hostent *host;
	host = gethostbyname("http://www.totaljerkface.com/");
	SOCKADDR_IN SockAddr;
	SockAddr.sin_port = htons(80);
	SockAddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
	SockAddr.sin_addr.s_addr = *((unsigned long*)host->h_addr);
	cout << "Connecting...\n";
	if (connect(Socket, (SOCKADDR*)(&SockAddr), sizeof(SockAddr)) != 0){
		cout << "Could not connect";
		return;
	}

	std::ostringstream FormBuffer; // <<< here

	char DataType1[] = "login_user_email=";
	char DataType2[] = "&login_user_pass=";
	char DataType3[] = "&action=";

	const char username[] = "sadasd";
	const char password[] = "asdasdasd";
	const char action[] = "login";
	const char FormAction[] = "/login.do";

	// get: length of the actual content
	auto ContentLength = strlen(username) +
		strlen(password) +
		strlen(action) +
		strlen(DataType1) +
		strlen(DataType2) +
		strlen(DataType3);

	// header
	FormBuffer << "POST " << FormAction << " HTTP/1.1\n";
	FormBuffer << "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n";
	FormBuffer << "Host: http://www.totaljerkface.com/ \n";
	FormBuffer << "Content-Length: " << std::to_string(ContentLength) << "\n\n";

	// actual content
	FormBuffer << DataType1 << username;
	FormBuffer << DataType2 << password;
	FormBuffer << DataType3 << action;

	const auto str = FormBuffer.str();

	std::cout << str << std::endl;

	send(Socket, str.data(), str.size(), NULL);
		/*
			char buffer[10000];
	int nDataLength;
	while ((nDataLength = recv(Socket, buffer, 10000, 0)) > 0){
		int i = 0;
		while (buffer[i] >= 32 || buffer[i] == '\n' || buffer[i] == '\r') {
			cout << buffer[i];
			i += 1;
		}
	}
		*/

	closesocket(Socket);
	//WSACleanup();
}

Nvm, fixed the code myself.

I thought you didn't want to use sockets?
