I would like to be able to access a SQL Server 2000 database from a QNX box
on the same network. Id eally i wiould like to do this by sending a HTTP
call to the SQL Server 2000 Database as this would allow me to execute SQL
queries on the database from the QNX box using only the SQL equivalent Text
string. What I am wondering is, is there a simple way to do this under QNX?
I mean Voyager must be able to do this so the libraries must exist. So I
guess need to know what libraries and what calls are appropriate to this
task. Any suggestion would be most welcome.
Is there something special (other than normal web surfing capabilities)
required on the client side? That is, does voyager need to submit some type
of special request outside of what it would usually do?
What I picture in this type of application is normally just the browser
connecting to the server, the server presenting some type of page, perhaps a
form, and then the browser submitting that page to the server after which
the server replies with some other web page. In this case, all the work is
done by the server which only presents standard html pages and accepts
http/cgi type requests.
Or am I missing some subtlety?

The only thing you may be missing is that I want to do this from within a c
program without ever displaying a web page on a client browser. I need to
send a http post request, I don’t need to display the reply. This should all
happen as a background process.

We don’t ship anything like that per se but, on the other hand, the http
protocol is not horribly complicated. You probably could put together
something simple that just opens the port and sends the header and request.
I took a look on quick look on freshmeat and found this project which may be
useful.
http-tiny:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/http-tiny/?topic_id=90%2C809
There’s also the w3c reference implementation of a client library called
libwww at http://www.w3.org/Library/.

Isn’t libcurl (http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/) supposed to do that?

I initially thought of libcurl but someone told me that it was only for
uploading and downloading files to and from various URL’s. Judging from the
website, it’s a real swiss army knife though. Might even be overkill for
his app.

Especially interesting is their page with links to libraries which provide

Thanks for your reply Jens,
Yes libcurl IS supposed to do that and in fact that is the solution I
eventually came up with as well.
