Date: 2018dec13 Framework: MFC Keywords: url, uri, internet, http, CInternetConnection Language: C++ OS: Windows Q. MFC: download a web page A. Use the CHttpConnection class Example https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1876/Retrieving-a-file-via-HTTP For SSL/TLS I saw this on stackoverflow.com

CHttpFile* pFile = pConnection->OpenRequest(CHttpConnection::HTTP_VERB_POST, _T(Action), NULL, 1, NULL, NULL, INTERNET_FLAG_SECURE);

I haven't tried it. There is also WinHttp and WinInet but they aren't MFC.
