hi,

It's is possible in c++ , but not directly you need to do socket/network programming for that !

by the way which platform you are using I mean Windows or *Nix

in vc++ you can use CHttpConnection and related classes for fetching information from httpserver.

look in to the link for more information on how to use.

Hello,

if you don´t want to use the MFC you can use the WinINet functions as documented on MSDN.

Using plain c/c++ and the standard libraries will be really pain in the *** because you have to use sockets and implement the FTP/HTTP protocol on your own.

I personally use cURL, it handles all the things like proxy redirects and everythign for you
