(OT) HTTP FORM POST in c

I'm trying to post some data (strings, nothing fancy) on a html page through
http. the page has a form with a name (yeah, i know, but i'm kinda new at
this...) and some input fields. the page will only accept form post data (it
gives an error otherwise) and i'm really banging my head on walls here... i
checked google and found SOME answers, mostly for java or .net. but i'm
interested in plain old c/c++. the best i got to it was to connect through a
socket and send the headers manually, but it still didn't work (said they
weren't through a FORM tag or something). i don't know how to encode the
name of the form tag in the actual message, maybe that's the problem... i
dunno...
do any of you have any suggestions? maybe even a snippet/sample code?
i know it's ot, but... maybe it's not THAT ot, you know?
