streaming in online document

Hi!

I want to use a document that is available on the internet: http://api.eve-central.com/api/quicklook?typeid=34&usesystem=30000142

how do I either:

1. Directly access it for the program to use it.
or
2. Stream it to a file and then read it from there.


Thanks for any help I might get.
Any help?
Did you try File->Save Page As or File->Save As from your browser menu?
You want to manipulate a document that is on a server located on the link you posted?
You might need some kind of browser API in your application to do that.
The document updates from time to time and by changing the typeid=# I can access all the data that I want.

So, is there someway to stream from the internet into a file or straight into the program.
could you perhaps use the http address and it will go there to retrieve the file?


If I only get my project to build correctly I could probably figure this out myself.
look at this:

POCO seems also be an option.

basically you send a request and you can parse the answer as text
ok, thanks for the answers
