Aloha, I am looking for sample c code that connects to a URL. I tried to cobble something together but it isn't working out too well.
All it needs to do is connect to a url like " https://www.example.com/sample?option1=matt%option2=darnell%option3=please_help " The web server will do he rest from there. All the app has to do is connect to the web site, no need to get anything back. Below is what I tried to hack out of a web browser I found on the web. Aloha, Matt ************ #include <winsock.h> WSADATA WSData; SOCKET s; struct hostent *H; SOCKADDR_IN socket_in; char url[1000]; char host[1000]; // host name char method[50]; char header[1000]; char *abs_path; // abs path URI char request[1000]; HWND hwnd,hEdit,hUrl,hMain,hStatus,hTool,hGo; void AddLogEntry(HWND hwnd,char * entry); HFONT hfFont; char buffer[100000]; long bufferSize=0; char hostent_buffer[MAXGETHOSTSTRUCT]; HANDLE HR; /* The Windows Sockets 'WSAStartup' function initiates use of the Windows Sockets DLL by a process.
