The easiest way to access form data from an HTTP request is via CGI. This involves reading environment variables which is done using the getenv function.

First of all take a look at webtoolkit.
You might want to use that to make your life easier.
Second you can read about network protocols.
Third take a look at your webserver docs, they might provide such interface to create a deamon that will allow you to read the HTTP socket and the data that is sent over it.

On another note next time you write a question try to elaborate as much as possible.
Explain the use case and provide a test case.

You may use CgiCC library that gives you want you are looking for. You may also try some C++ web framework like CppCMS.
