Basically what I am looking for is the ability to send an http request to a specific address and dispose of the returned data.

Here is the situation. We are having a major remote database problem, so in the mean time we have come up with this workaround:

1. The c app send an http request to:
www.something.com?x=something&y=something&z=something

2. The webapp takes the variables passed in the address (x,y,z) and does it's thing.

So all the c app has to do is send the page request and kill the connection.

I am not the c developer, but he is having problems doing this, so I thought I would ask the good ol' codeguru community.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
