anybody know any nice networking classes - ftp, http file access?
Author
hello.
was wondering if anybody knew of any nice c++ classes/functions that would let me do something like this:
for http:
downloadfile(char *url, char *fname);
and it would in an ideal world work like this
download("http://www.blahblah.com/pics/goldfish.jpg","fishy.jpg");
this ideal function would grab that file and save it in the applications folder called ''fishy.jpg''
does such a set of functions exist for c/c++?
If you used *unix, like linux you could embed a system call into your program that would execute "wget" to retrieve the file you wanted.

You use winsock, connect to the host, and learn the HTTP 1.1 protocol (hint: listen on port 80 on your local machine and point IE at it then save what IE sends).
All the functions exist. You just have to know how to put them together.

I wrote a sockets wrapper class that can do simple downloads of webpages - see the first code example on this page:

With some small modifications to the demo program, it would be able to save files, you''ll probably need to know a little more HTTP to do it properly though.

URLDownloadToFile does that.
I got one better:

Much better than rolling your own, but won''t be cross-platform.
Interim.
