I cant really answer your question in general - I dont know, but you could always download the windows version of apache and use C++ to write CGI programs to parse that form data.

Way less work than what you're thinking about doing (it takes 15 minutes to learn enough apache to set this up)

You need a way to process forms on other servers, or use C++ to accept/process CGI-based get/posts requests? The answer to either is yes, but something like python or perl might be quicker to work with.

OK.
You *could* install Apache though, write C++ programs in your cgi-bin/ folder and postback your GET and POST data to the current program or another one in cgi-bin/ to examine that content. If your dead-set on trying to access it through some sort of API then I can't help you out.
Good luck!

HTTP POST and GET data isn't part of Standard C++.

Hm.. can't get to that localhost site. 
No, I doubt CGI functions are build into c/c++, but there has to be some kind of library that helps.
