Hmm, now show time! Here is CHTTPSocket class with full source code, full qualified, one step, HTTP client. Can fetch pages from web, no problems if You try virtual host. If You use proxy server, only set some variables and get it worked also. I also compile sample application which You can download and test. Ok, leme start with exe sample. Download dtsexe.zip, rename to dtsexe.zip, and uzip it, 37K in length and usage very simple:

//---------------------------------------------------------
//call style:
//---------------------------------------------------------
// dts.exe /URL <url> [/PRX <phost>] [/PRT <pport>]
//---------------------------------------------------------
// where /URL - U see
//       /PRX - proxy's internet address
//       /PRT - proxy's port
//---------------------------------------------------------
// You must have KERNEL32.DLL, USER32.DLL and WS2_32.DLL 
// installed.
//---------------------------------------------------------


For example:

dts.exe /URL http://www.tair.freeservers.com for direct access


or: (the following should all go on one line)

dts.exe /URL http://www.yahoo.com /PRX 127.0.0.1 
        /PRT 8080 access via proxy


If this isn’t clear, the attached demo should help.
