c++ libray for http protocol

[B.C.]

Could someone point me to a free or commercial (reasonably priced) c++ http
library that supports:
- retrieving page content
- posting data to pages
- https
- cookies
- url redirection
- supports the Windows platform

Thank you

PS: If you are wondering what I mean 'reasonably priced', let's say I don't
consider the RogueWave c++ libraries reasonably priced for me.

How about one of those:

http://www.w3.org/Library/
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/

Both are C, but can be used from C++. There seems to be a C++ wrapper for
libcurl at http://rrette.com/curlpp.html

I didn't know about cURL. Thanks!

If you are looking for a client-side library, the free curl library
probably does what you want:
http://curl.haxx.se/

For server code, a popular cross-platform library is the ACE:

Doesn't the Windows SDK support all that directly? Check out the
msdn.microsoft.com site. I expect you use COM technology to do it. For
further questions, though, you need to ask on a microsoft newsgroup, not
here. Since that stuff isn't part of standard C++, it's off-topic here.
