Http or websocket to connect to MySQL advice

I have a win32 app that needs to fetch data from a MySQL database. I would like to have an a c++ program that sits on the server and my app can send a encrypted string to the server. The server app would fetch data from the db and encrypt a string and send it back to the app.

What should I be looking for st do this? The server would need to be in c++ to use my existing encryption. The server would also need to multithreaded.

Any advice or links to samples would be a great help.
