C++ client for ATL web service without Soap?

[ERLN]

I have ATL web service Written in C++ long back. We have already C++ web client using soap toolkit. Now we need C++ web client Without Soap . What are the solutions ? Is it possible without .Net interface. That is it should work with old Vc++ 6.0 IDE also.

Of course it is. If you're using MFC for the client (and MFC is a reasonable implementation route), then you probably want to get familiar with CHttpConnection[^] and CHttpFile[^]. Another route (which I used when writing a web service client in Haskell[^]) is to use libcurl[^] through its C++ bindings[^]. In both cases, you just need to construct an appropriate request, send it and read the response through the HTTP connection.

Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p
