Website stress test

[martindeveloper]

Hello.

Right now I'm trying to write simple C++ application for internal website testing.
I need to send request (ping) to website and do it repeatedly.

But I do not know how can I simple ping website without using system("ping xxxxx"); My current code:

#include <iostream>
#include <Windows.h>

void PingSite(std::string url);

int main()
{
	int wait = 4;
	int max = 100;
	std::string url = "http://test.net";

	for(int x = 0; x <= max; ++x)
	{
		std::cout << "Working: " << x << "%\r" << std::flush;

		PingSite(url);

		Sleep(wait);
	}

	std::cin.get();
	return 0;
}

void PingSite(std::string url)
{
	//Ping site
}

Is there any way please?
Thank you for your respond.
