Getting data from a file off of the internet

[nschmoyer]

I have been searching forever and I can't find a solution for this problem. It is very simple to do in C#, and I'm considering rewriting all of my code because of this, but I'm so far into my coding with C++ that it doesn't seem worth it.

I'm trying to connect to an internet URL (http://www.example.com/file.txt) and read data from the file. I do not even know where to start with this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
