[C++] Web fetch?
 

How can I make it so my c++ program can fetch and read files from the web, mainly xml pages? Also what is the best way to make it read an xml file?

c++ is probably the worst language to use for this... Perl or Python, or even java would be better....

But, for doing http, try neon: http://www.webdav.org/neon/

And for parsing XML, try Xerces: http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/

PHP would be even better :)

file_get_contents()
file()
fopen()

many different useful ways.

You could use network sockets in C/C++ to grab a file and then parse it, but I'd highly recommend using a different language. C/C++ is not a good scripting language for simple things like that.

I'd suggest using Perl instead - you'll have a much simpler time.
