I can find tons of examples in C++, but nothing that's written in just C. I am trying to connect to an http server, download the returned data, and then save it to a file. Is there a better way to do it on Windows? Should I not be using WinHttp or WinInet? Windows documentation for C seems to be extremely lacking on the internet. Thank you for your help.
