URL using C++

[madhosh]

Guys
Thanks for your help.. I need to know how URL is constructed dynamically and sent to a web server using C++.
Iam trying to write a program which will search the web and return the result( a small search engine). I need to know how a url can be constructed dynamically using search parameters specified.
For ex
if i search for "New YORK" on

http://www.google.com.The

url constructed is
"

http://www.google.com/search?q=22New+York22&btnG=Google+Search"

I want to do this using C++.
Any help is appreciated.

In your example above:

"

http://www.google.com/search?q="New+York"&btnG=Google+Search";

Tells this to the browser:
"Go to

http://www.google.com

ask for the file called 'search' and pass to the server the variables"
q=%22New+York%22 (where %xx is the ascii caracter coresponding to hexa reprezentation of xx - here is 44)
btnG=Google+Search (where + always means always a space)

So the rules are:
? - separates the name of the file required from the parameters passed to the server
& - separates the parameters between themselves
%xx - stands for a hexa ASCII reprezatation of a single character
+ - replaces a single space

All this are passed through GET method.
Go on link to my site and you will find a web server called SONAR made in VB by myself. Use it as you see fit.
