Retriving website data with C++

Question

I want to retrieve content from any website, which means I want to write a code in C++ language which download the content of any website and then save it to notepad file or any other supported file format.

Can anyone suggest about this?

I wonder how this question is related to almost every language starting with `C` — Haris, Aug 27 '15 at 06:34
We can only suggest you to write some code, make a prototype, class diagram. Your program will need a good xml parser such as `libxml`., or just a one from `boost`. There you go. — VP., Aug 27 '15 at 06:34
I was about to say about curl which has been just mentioned by @juanchopanza — Rafaf Tahsin, Aug 27 '15 at 06:43
Why do you need to write your own app for this? `wget` will do this wihtout writing any code... — Mats Petersson, Aug 27 '15 at 06:48

Look at this question. In the answers you will find multiple libraries which implement HTTP clients in C++.

In the documentations (for example here) you will find many examples.

using namespace boost::network;
using namespace boost::network::http;

client::request request_("http://127.0.0.1:8000/");
request_ << header("Connection", "close");
client client_;
client::response response_ = client_.get(request_);
std::string body_ = body(response_);
