You can implement a simple HTTP request using raw sockets. But for other than learning exercises I would not recommend this and just go with libcurl.
For an example program which uses raw sockets look here: http://coding.debuntu.org/c-linux-socket-programming-tcp-simple-http-client (randomly found on google, quality not assured).
