It's not too hard. Like Dar said, get a good HTTP book, or do some searching on Google. Basic HTTP requests are not complex. The request methods commonly used are GET, HEAD, and POST. A request is a single line followed by a double newline. Additional headers can be added one per line, before the double newline. Use a terminal and a telnet program to experiment. Here I am using the HEAD command to get info about an image on runrev.com's webserver. Use GET to download stuff.
This is perfect!� Exactly what I need to do.� I'm a bit leery of the learning curve in using libURLSetCustomHTTPHeaders() to configure an HTTP request.� I'll dig right in starting now - - - - curious though - - - can someone who has done this sort of thing share some of their samples, so I don't have to re-invent the wheel?� Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
