How cross platform do you need to be? The .Net streams will read from a URL. That could give you Windows and Unix (via mono). - R -----Original Message----- From: boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of Scott Meyers Sent: 07 July 2007 00:55 To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Subject: [Boost-users] Grabbing web page content I'm looking for an easy way to grab the contents of a web page, i.e., something like this (ignoring error handling): std::string pageContent = getPageContent("http://www.interestingsite.com/funkypage.html"); Is there a Boost library that will give me this kind of interface? I know I can build this on top of asio, but I'd prefer something where I don't have to do much more work than the above. If there's no Boost library, I'd welcome suggestions for other cross-platform ways to achieve this.
