There are many answers to this question. There are Win32 platform API's
as well as third party libraries. Ones I have used are curl and
wininet. Wininet has many issues and so does curl and so do other
libraries.

In short, it has nothing to do specifically with C++ so you're best off
to ask a group specific to your platform. Keep in mind the right answer
will depend just how thorough your solution needs to be. Does it need
to support proxies, authenticating proxies and automatic proxy
discovery. Does it need to cache results, or perhaps not cache results?
Does it need to be "high performance"?

BSD sockets interface...or just use a program that already does it like
wget
