(If you want to go through Boost ASIO, there is also Beast: https://github.com/boostorg/beast.)


The reason for the added complexity is that it is not as simple as simply opening a local file.
When performing a GET you are asking some other computer to send you a file.

Good luck!

Well done for choosing .NET for this task.
It's very simple the System::Net::WebClient::DownloadString
