Hello,

Are there any solutions (in C ANSI) for downloading internet files ?
Some functions exist (URLDownloadToFile(...) or
URLDownloadToCacheFile(...) for Windows) but they aren't ANSI.

Thanks

No.

URLDownloadToCacheFile(...) for Windows) but they aren't ANSI.

That's right. Standard C has no built-in networking
capabilities. You'll need a platform-specific solution.

For Linux, do you know some libraries i can use ?

Try a Linux group. We only discuss standard C language here.

Ask in comp.os.linux.development.apps (there's several, one is called
"curl").
