How to Download File From Internet ?

wxHTTP http;

http.SetHeader ( wxT("Accept") , wxT("text/*") );
http.SetHeader ( wxT("User-Agent"), wxGetApp().GetAppName() );
// The wxWidgets default timeout is 10 minutes.
http.SetTimeout ( 120 );

// Note that Connect() wants a host address, not an URL. 80 is the server's port.
if ( http.Connect ( "myserver.com", 80 ) )
{
      if ( wxInputStream *stream = http.GetInputStream ( wxT("/path/to/some.file") ) )
      {
      // Will hold the content of the file (assuming that it's a text file).
wxString data;
      wxStringOutputStream out_stream ( &data );
      // The data will be streamed to the variable "data".
stream->Read ( out_stream );
      delete stream;
      }
}

// Handle errors etc.
