I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and C++ language that runs on the console.

I am trying to go to a web page, then get the source of that webpage (What I mean by source is: in Firefox, when you right click, then “View Page Source”) and save it in my computer as a text file, so that I can read that saved file later on. Can you please give me an example of how to go to a website in c++ and then save the HTML source code in to my computer? I would greatly appreciate any help

And how can you install libcurl?

When I use #include <curl/curl.h> it says Error: cannot open source file “curl/curl.h.”
