I figured it out.. Im using libcURL\

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.   #include <curl/curl.h>
  2.  
  3.   CURL *curl;
  4.   CURLcode results;
  5.  
  6.   curl = curl_easy_init();
  7.   if(curl) {
  8.     curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "curl.haxx.se");
  9.     results = curl_easy_perform(curl);
  10.     cout<<"results: "<<sizeof(results)<<" "<<results<<endl;
  11.     /* always cleanup */ 
  12.     curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  13.   }

to include the right libs when linking type:
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. $curl-config --libs
  2. -lcurl -lidn -llber -lldap -lrt -lgssapi_krb5 -lgssapi_krb5 -lz -lgnutls
  3. $

and it will display all the needed libs
