Question

I have created an app (some kind of “client” app) that will have a “bug report” feature. The feature consists with pure text area from which the text should be sent and saved to a text file on the free host. Is it possible? If so, which c++ library could give me such ability?

EDIT:

In my intentions it had to be a simple application that a user has on his own computer. After finding some bug in my app there should be the “bug report” feature that will allow him to send the data (pure text) to some place that only I could reach. I was just thinking about free hosting (because it’s… free), and save the data into a text file there. I’m sorry if my question wasn’t appropriate.

Answer 1

If your free hosting permits it (and you should check that) you might code a CGI program, or a fastCGI application. There are several C++ libraries which might help, like libcgicc etc.

If you can afford a web server, there exist C++ libraries providing HTTP service, in particular Wt or (in C) Onion etc.

You could also consider other technologies, like OpaLang or Ocsigen (but I would not recommend PHP, even if it is a lot used).

MAybe your hosting enable ssh so you could use scp ….

And if your application is free software (e.g. GPL licensed), several free software hosting (freecode, sourceforge, github, gitorious …) may offer also a bug database facility.
