Where to start learning about internet communication in MFC programs

[nbgoku]

where can i learn about how the program can communicate on the internet? is there are good tutorials out there that show how the interent works with C++?

my main goals is really just to check if a certain url exist, and if it does, a MessageBox("exist") should appear, but i need to figure out how to detect a website (SERVER/IP im guessing) and see if the file exist on that server

Check out the CInternetSession class and you'll be sure to find your answers;

[green]//Example?[/green]
[blue]
CStdioFile *myFile;
CInternetSession mySession;

myFile = mySession.GetURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.tek-tips.com");[/URL]
[green]Opens Address file into file pointer[/green]
if (!myFile) { MessageBox("File not Found!"); }


[green]Run a loop to read the file in line by line[/green]
CString Data = NULL;
     while(myFile->ReadString(Data))
     {
     MessageBox("Line Data: "+Data);
     }
[/blue]

Just off the top of my head...
Hope that helps,

cout << "If you don't know where you want to go, we'll make sure you get taken";
