I'm trying to make a program that can read in HTTP pages becasue I need to save the text data on the web ages, what librarys will I need to help me accomplish this?

I'm using VC++6 but I don't want to use the MFC.

If you don't want anything fancy, then you could use simple SOCKET's to establish a connection to a IP address on a given port, then form and send a valid HTTP request and save the resultant HTML file..Regards

Yap, and usually you can find examples on how to do it together with the socket programming explanations...
