Using curl is the same, whether you talk to a normal webserver
or an http webserver. See the samples distributed with the curl
library, e.g. the "examples/simple.c" file.

Dont be confused by the simplessl.c file - that example is much more
complicated, but that is because it uses SSL certificates for
authentication.

For the password stuff, you can set the CURLOPT_NETRC option with
  curl_easy_setopt(curlhandle, CURLOPT_NETRC, 1);
then it will read the username and password info from your ~/.netrc
file.
