Opening a connection to a remote HTTP or FTP server.

[lessonfree]

Is it possible, in general, to open a connection to a remote HTTP or FTP server from fortran code?

There are no language intrinsics in Fortran to support HTTP or FTP connections. One would have to use an external library of some kind and make a call into that library.

So you'd have to find a library that supported that functionality, more than likely a library written in C, C++, etc. and make a mixed language call into that library.
