[LUAU] Help needed with a c program

[Matt Darnell]

Aloha,

I am looking for sample c code that connects to a URL.  I tried to cobble
something together but it isn't working out too well.

All it needs to do is connect to a url like "
https://www.example.com/sample?option1=matt%option2=darnell%option3=please_help
"

The web server will do he rest from there.  All the app has to do is connect
to the web site, no need to get anything back.

Below is what I tried to hack out of a web browser I found on the web.

Aloha,
Matt
