Use a debugger, that's what it's for!

                                    ^^^^^ don't you mean
                            new char[256];

That is, you should be allocating a buffer that can hold 256 characters,
not allocate a character and initialize it to 256!

Please learn to use std::string. Assumption such as that an URL cannot be
longer than 255 characters will eventually cause you trouble.
