I assume you meant HTTP, not HTML.

It is possible, but not supported yet by sf::Http.

How do you think your browser does ?

That's not really hard to do. You send a request to the server for the file (the http protocol is really simple) and you get your data as a char* you just have to split header from body. There you have your image.

yes, sorry, I was saying HTTP. I know that is possible, but i wanted make with the sf::Http. In my game i need to download an image with the news, now I'm using a free FTP server, but i don't know if ftp support mores clients than one.

Like i said, it's really simple. You just have to read a few to know what is an http request and what is in the answer.

Like I said you probably can't use sf::Http, it doesn't support multi-part content yet.
