Then we were pretty far apart... I thought you were talking about the
client side (on the PC, with the host being in the device).

But if I did understand it correctly at first, writing a TCP client is not
that difficult, using sockets. It's also not difficult to write it
reasonably portable. I just searched for "c++ socket tutorial", and there
seems to be a lot out there. There's also the source code for wget, which
implements a superset of what you likely want.
