Streaming file from remote location

[TheNoobie]

I am looking for a library that can take a file from a remote server and put it into the stream so that different variables can be read from it. For example..

StreamLib::Stream MyStream;
MyStream.Load("127.0.0.1/MyFile.txt");
MyStream.Read();
//Etc, etc.. 

I tried cURL and I am frustrated with the lack of documentation and the constant errors I'm getting compiling.

1>c1xx : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '.\src\curlpp\Infos.cpp': No such file or directory

Nowhere in the source code does it load anything from ".\src" so I have no idea where it's pulling that information from. I would love to sort through all those errors and fix them because it does seem like a solid library but I really would like to get this done by tonight.

Generally you can use one of the many application layers in sockets such as HTTP or FTP. Libraries give you ease of use when it comes to these protocols (considering how basic they are anyways). The most notable ones are http://cpp-netlib.github.com/ and http://curl.haxx.se/.

I personally suggest the first one although I've hardly used either.
