There is no networking support in the C++ standard library. It is not too difficult to define a streambuf that works with sockets, which could then be used for HTTP; I was able to do so with about 50 lines of code and the aid of a few socket wrapper functions. However, it does require some knowledge of the socket API(s) and is probably not a sensible task for a beginner. There are probably existing class libraries that provide streams like this, though. -- Ben Hutchings Having problems with C++ templates?

A lot of, actually. For starters, you may wish to try this: http://www.msobczak.com/prog/bin/sockets.zip It is a basic and simple implementation of the TCP stream within the IOStreams framework. -- Maciej Sobczak : http://www.msobczak.com/ Programming : http://www.msobczak.com/prog/ [ See http://www.gotw.ca/resources/clcm.htm for info about ] [ comp.lang.c++.moderated.
