CPU & Memory Is there a unix internet api?
In Windows you can use WinInet API to access the internet from your c code. Does unix got the same functions?

Are you referring to Winsock?

Yes, Sockets are available under Unix for Internet communication.

Thanks for your reply.

I was talking about wininet which is more specific for using the internet then winsock. wininet is more high level with functions like InternetOpenUrl() and InternetReadFile() etc...

I see.

I am sure that there are some API's that are floating around that have encapsulated similiar functionality but I am sure that if you check it out, programming with sockets is not as difficult as it might sound.

I was surprised with how similiar sockets were to the WinInet control. A little bit more work, but not as much as I had originally thought.
