How to query a CGI based webserver from an app written in MFC (MSVC 2008) and process the result?
- by shan23
Hi, I am exploring the option of querying a web-page, which has a CGI script running on its end, with a search string (say in the form of http://sw.mycompany.com/~tools/cgi-bin/script.cgi?param1=value1¶m2=value2¶m3=value3 ), and displaying the result on my app (after due processing of course). My app is written in MFC C++ , and I must confess that I have never attempted anything related to network programming before.
Is what I'm trying to do very infeasible ? If not, could anyone point me at the resources I need to look at in order to go about this ?
Thanks !
