I'm working on a project in which I need to implement http from scratch; I have to put files together from packets rather than using a pre-built file grabber like wget or cURL. Are there any simple frameworks (cross platform or unix) for working with packets? Anyone have any examples of GET or PUT methods they've implemented themselves at the packet level?
You should try and use POCO HttpClient/HttpServer class from http://pocoproject.org/ HttpClient should support POST/GET methods that you need for client side.
