What's the simpliest way to fetch HTML in a string?

Question

I am looking for the very simplie way to fetch HTML body of a remote web site into a string using default C++ libraries or WinAPI.

Answer 1

There are no default C++ libraries to do this. And I'm not familiar with WinAPI. But check out the libcurl website here: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/. That site has a listing of "competitor" libraries that may be of use.

Answer 2

查看Microsoft的WinInet API：

  

Microsoft Windows Internet（WinINet）应用程序编程接口（API）使应用程序能够访问标准Internet协议，例如FTP和HTTP。为了便于使用，WinINet将这些协议抽象为高级接口。

或Microsoft的WinHTTP API：

  

Microsoft Windows HTTP服务（WinHTTP）为开发人员提供HTTP客户端应用程序编程接口（API），以通过HTTP协议将请求发送到其他HTTP服务器。

它们都内置于Windows中。您只需在代码中链接到wininet.dll或winhttp.dll，然后#include wininet.h或winhttp.h，并根据需要调用相关的HTTP功能。
