Receiving response from server using I/O in C with sockets

Question

I'm trying to make a simple web client using sockets. I send a GET request to a web page and want to receive an HTML file. I know I can receive using recv(), but I want to do this using a FILE. I'm using fdopen to wrap the socket in a FILE. Now I can use fgetc() to read the response. However, fgets() fails - maybe I'm using it wrong. Any way to easily read the HTTP response line by line?

This works:

FILE *input = fdopen(mySocket, "r");

while(!feof(input))
{
   printf("%c", fgetc(input));
}

I need something along these lines:

FILE *input = fdopen(mySocket, "r");
char c[2000];
while(fgets(c, sizeof(c), input) != NULL)
{
   printf("%s\n", c);
}

If there is any other convenient way to read the response, please advise.

I just added error checking and it works now. The input was indeed NULL because my request never went through. Thanks!

FILE *input= fdopen(mySocket, "r");
if(input== NULL)
{
printf("Error");
    exit 1;
}

char c[2000];
while(fgets(c, sizeof(c), input) != NULL)
{
    printf("%s\n", c);
}
