Send HTTP request from VC++ file

Question

Hi

I am trying to send an HTTP request with the contents of a file set as the body of the HTTP request and want to get the response from a server using VC++.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I think I was not very clear with what I wanted to do or I misunderstood the answers. Neways, what I want to accomplish is, one of my web-services accepts the data of a local file as the body of the HTTP request sent to it. I want to make a call to this service and send the contents of a txt file as the body of the HTTP request. In return I will get a response from the service which I want to get in a string variable.

Thanks.

Hello,

You can always use WinInet. Check out the docs here:
