How to get Source code WInsock

[ozUkoG1T]

Hi C++ Forums,
I am working (Learning) on a program in which the user enters a Website URL then the C++ Program will take the source code . I do not want to make it open source i want it to be Good. Not to bad about open source coders here. I know how to make a open source one but now want to make a non open source program.

Please help

Use libcurl rather than using winsock directly, it is much easier to use:

yes but the problem is it does not work ( i mean the link is not online)

Try replacing 'www' with 'curl'...

http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/

e.g. simple HTTP
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/simple.html

simple.c shows how to get a remote web page in only four libcurl function calls.

Also, if you want to go the Win32 way, it might be better to use WinINet rather than WinSock

WinINet

Common Functions
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa383949%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

But if don't need Win32 for other reasons, I'd stick to libcurl as it's cross-platform.

Sounds like that open source program wget.
