I'm writing a native c++ application that needs to grab information from a web service.
What is the recommended library/libraries to handle this in c++?
I cannot use .NET for this.
apache axis is java, OP wants c++

I had a quick look at libcurl. It seems to be more of a comms swiss army knife, rather than geared towards interacting with webservices. I just need something quick to talk to a webservice.... and I think this_kind_of_syntax belongs in perl (!).

gSOAP is quite good.
Almost all the big players(Adobe Systems, AOL, BEA, Boeing, Cisco Systems, CNR, eBay, Ericsson, Exxon/Mobile, HP, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Nokia, Pfizer, Siemens, WindRiver, Xerox...) are using it.

thanks, This looks good. I'd be curious to know how this handles proxy negotiation...

hey akira, You dont have to use it to build a web service you can also use it to access existing ones. It works as either a client or server.. think the way VLC player works

A:
You can try WSF Staff (client part). Easy create web services and clients in C++.
Generated code is compact, light, human readable and easy to understand.
Open source, based on Axis2/C (wrapped most most used Axis2/C features into C++ code, also have many additional options). Ported to Windows, Linux.
