Need C++ (in windows) code to implement HTTP POSTs

I am making a windows program that

  1. polls a server every 5 seconds and (normally) gets an acknowledgement by POST (there are custom messages)
  2. executes alternate code (a packet loggger in this case) when the replies dont come
  3. uploads a file to the server by POST when the link is back up.

Please recommend a good C++ library that provides HTTP client functionality as well as a newb-friendly environment (easy debugging) for developing it. Visual C++, minGW?

I am a newb with programming and a first-time poster here. Google confused me but it led me to libCURL. Pardon me for unclear language or scope.

Look up WinInet. It's the Windows API's native HTTP client, with POST capability among others. Libcurl is portable, but it's not technically a part of Windows, you have to link/ship it with the software.
