Hello. I am trying to find out how to start programming a simple HTTP browser. I want to code a browser that can hook up to the net and browser simple HTTP format files to start with. I don't want to base this app on a pre-existing application. I like Firefox, but I want to code a broswer myself, instead of piecing together pre-existing and recycled code. Anyone out there know where I could look? I tried searching for HTTP Client programming, but got nothing. Know of any books. Thanks alot.

basically your browser should be able to support the HTTP protocol.
So i'd suggest starting out by reading the HTTP protocol specs
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html

good luck

Thanks, Dizzutch, for that link. That will definetely come in handy. I would like to make an unconditionally compliant browser. Now I think I would need to learn how to actually code and compile such an application. I have MSVC++ 6.0 and bloodshed DevC++ 4.0. If you or anyone else out there knows where to look for a tutorial or book that can show just how a browser is pieced together, I would be most appreciative.
