Is there a function that returns the code of a webpage as a buffer or string? If so, what library is it in? I did some research and found a bunch that could be downloaded, but I want a built-in one, if possible.

C/C++ doesn't have any library function to get a complete web page, since that is highly OS dependent. You can however use the sockets library of the system you are using to achieve the same thing.

Use boost asio library, which is a cross-platform C++ library for network programming, and it's easy to use.

Boost.Asio

ON Windows, just use Win32 api (1 line of code or 5 with COM)
