url 1

[cforumphil]

Can anybody tell me how to make a small .c programm that opens an url like:

http://somewhere.com/test.php?data1=asdf

The important thing is that I can pass data1=asdf. I only want to pass this data, nothing has to be written on the screen.

Although using Linux, I can't use "system(curl ...);", because it can't be installed in my case.

For how to talk 'http' to the other end

RFC2616 is the one you want.

But the result is not likely to be anything which you would call a small C program.
