libxml2 has a HTML parser. libxml++ is a wrapper for libxml2, but I'm not sure if it exposes the HTMLparser functionality.

It will mainly depend on what you want to do retrieve in your webpage. You can try boost::spirit to create your own parser. (Or a Yacc/Lex parser).

If your are looking for more simple information in the HTML page, getc may be good enough...

Hand parsing gets messy, even for relatively trivial cases.

Have you considered a Lexer/Parser, such as Flex/Bison? I highly recommend Antlr - and get AntlrWorks.
