I wanted to develop one HTTP example on win32 platform, which is asynchronous.
I am new to win32 programming, what are the api and library win32 platform provides for HTTP send and receive request? I am using Windows XP with VS 2005.
If any example is available please provide a link to it.
The HTTP Server API enables applications to communicate over HTTP without using Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS). Applications can register to receive HTTP requests for particular URLs, receive HTTP requests, and send HTTP responses.
The majority of legacy Windows applications that exist in the wild today still use Win32 in some form.
The Windows API is still being developed. For example, see Windows 8.1 New APIs and features for developers and Windows 8 and 8.1 API Index. Obsolete? Not likely.
Uses the default port for HTTP servers (port 80).
Window HTTP Services "provides developers with an HTTP client application programming interface (API) to send requests through the HTTP protocol to other HTTP servers."
HTTP Server API "enables applications to communicate over HTTP without using Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS)"
