C++ Socket Library programming example

Example: a small httpget program

Usage:
$ httpget https://www.alhem.net/Sockets/index.html

View source code: httpget.cpp and httpget2.cpp

httpget-1.0.tar.gz

"httpget3.cpp" is like httpget.cpp except that it also reads the fetched file from disk and displays it.

httpget3.cpp

"httpget4.cpp" reads the file to memory, then extracts it into a std::string.

httpget4.cpp

Please note. This example was primarily developed on linux, and may require some tweaking to compile on other platforms.
