cURL is the library which is used to do HTTP/FTP and similar protocols.
There is a decent binding cURLpp for C++ which would be best for what you want.

PS: C++ language as such do not have such functionality.

IMO C and C++ are poor languages for doing web stuff. It will be a lot simpler to use a language that is suited for that kind of programming.

I love python for this: I was parsing HTML code just after 2 weeks of learning Python,

If it's on Windows, just use Win32 api (1 line of code with Shell , or 3 with COM...)

I found this snippet a while ago.

#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
	ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "http://google.net",
			NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
}
