[Boost-users] Grabbing web page content

From: Scott Meyers (usenet_at_[hidden])

I'm looking for an easy way to grab the contents of a web page, i.e., something 
like this (ignoring error handling):

std::string pageContent =
   getPageContent("http://www.interestingsite.com/funkypage.html");

Is there a Boost library that will give me this kind of interface?  I know I can 
build this on top of asio, but I'd prefer something where I don't have to do 
much more work than the above.  If there's no Boost library, I'd welcome 
suggestions for other cross-platform ways to achieve this.

Thanks,

Scott
