libghttp is probably not a bad place to start.  It
came from (comes with?) but is independant of GNOME.

It looks like:

#include <ghttp.h>

..

	ghttp_request *req;
	char *content;
..
	req = ghttp_request_new();
	ghttp_set_uri(req, THEURL);
	ghttp_set_header(req, http_hdr_Connection, "close");
	ghttp_set_header(req, "Cookie", "LSEPrices=version=19");
	ghttp_prepare(req);
	ghttp_process(req);

	content = ghttp_get_body(req);


(From my personal stock ticker.)

It is "more or less unmaintained" (http://people.redhat.com/blizzard/)
but Works For Me.

Matthew.
