Someone in a newsgroup related to your OS or internet programming can.

You need to use a 3rd party library for that.. try to search for one,
e.g.

1)To send a http request, you should first know about the http
protocol. There are many sites about the http protocol or refer the
rfc.
2)By default in c++, there is no socket library. You need to use 'C'
socket libraries.
3)You should either know the ip address/port number or should have dns
enabled in your machine.
4)If you know the ip address/port number, you can use it directly in
your program or use relevant system calls with the name
"somewebserver"(gethostent/gethostbyaddr.....).
5)Finally, create a client program(since you sending to a server),
send the http request and get the response from the server(also in
http format).

This is just in-brief. Days together of lectures can be provided on
this topic.

By default in C, there is no socket library either. In practice,
different implementations have ones that can differ by various amounts.
