An Intro to C for Windows - Part 9: Can you C the Internet!

How do applications download Internet resources like files, how are specific requests crafted like GET and POST, how are headers and user agent strings created? This part of the series will answer all of those questions by introducing two Win32 libraries: WinHttp and WinINet.

Note: This will not be a continuation of previous parts of the series and as such, no previous files or source code will be needed. Get your dev on!!!
