Download a file from the internet

[hakermania]

Ok, let's say that I have a program, and if users checks a box and click apply a file has to be downloaded from the internet!
Is this possible for C++ ?
Can you give me an example of downloading the file
http://www.example.com/something.zip
?
Thx in advance for any replies

here's an example http://www.cplusplus.com/files/urlmon.zip but it only works on VC++. If you want more portable code, use libcurl.

Thanks for your reply. I will repost here if I have any problems with libcurl.

I have really searched everywhere but I cannot find the libcurl library...
