I found that also, but doesnt seem to help me with the matter as im really newbie. win32 net apis, com, how do i use them?

I will tell you how I'd do it.

1. Create a WinSock connection to the target server
2. Send the HTTP request for the image
3. Receive response
4. Parse-Response and extract Jpeg components
5. Write to .jpg file.

found this:
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/

but how do i use it?

Try the documentation, or a libcurl forum :)

The Win32API has WinSock functionality built in, if you download a Win32API Guide you should find the required example code :)

Or use this sample code: http://www.cplusplus.com/src/urlmon.zip
From: http://www.cplusplus.com/src/ (also has a WinSock class for you there)
