    How to do port listening in C++?

    I am a newbie at c++ but need to pick it up in a hurry for my project.

    I need to develop an application that listens to an port (80) for incoming requests, takes a string from the request perform a function and return a result.

    How do i do the port listening part? Maybe a simple sample code as well?

    Thanks in advance.

    Have you read Beej's Guide to Network Programming?

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
