Thread: (posting to a URL) Pls make it so simple even Jessica Simpson can understand

Hi guys,

I am a seasoned PHP coder but still a C++ newbie, so be easy on the code.
As I have mentioned in the title, try to make it so simple even Jessica Simpson can understand. I was in no way suggesting that Im on the same level as she is intellectually thogh.

I need a simple sample C++ code to let me post to a URL (web API) and spit back the result at me.
I am very frustrated that I couldnt find a tutorial/guide to deal with this, maybe Ive been looking in the wrong places?. Surely it cant be that hard.
Can anybody shed a light or two?
Thanks in advance.

There are a few things here too. http://www.codeproject.com/info/search.asp

Yep, I'd highly suggest checking out libcurl. The setup up is a little daunting, but its easy to use once you get the hang of it. Plus, it handles just about any aspect of an HTTP/HTTPS session.

I might be mistaken, but I think there was mention of a C++ wrapper for libcurl on its site. I've never used it, but you may wanna check that out. might make the learning curve less steep.
