    Of course it's possible, but it may not be recommended at your current level.

    Here are some options:

    curl and libcurl

    The Ultimate TCP/IP Home Page - CodeProject

    Windows Sockets 2 (Windows)

    Windows Internet (Windows)

    I suggest a linear progression.
    - read the rates from the keyboard
    - read the rates from a file
    - read the rates from a simple text file on the internet
    - read the rates from a formatted HTML file on the internet

    The other alternative is to pick a different programming language that comes with a lot of "internet" friendly features which make accessing remote data an awful lot easier than it is in C.

    I dunno, people pick C, then wonder why there isn't an "easy everything" answer.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
