Something like std::ostringstream?

std::ostringstream request_stream;
request_stream << "GET " << argv[2] << " HTTP/1.0\r\n";
request_stream << "Host: " << argv[1] << "\r\n";
request_stream << "Accept: */*\r\n";
request_stream << "Connection: close\r\n\r\n";
std::string request = request_stream.str();
