Connect to web page

Hi community.
I have a simple question.
How to connect with this module to specific web page?
I had successfully connected device to Wifi.
Let's say I want to connect to this forum and get it's data back.
I have to connect to IP, that this forum is hosted on (70.38.12.79), but if I connect to this IP directly, I will not get esp8266.com forum but first page from forum host.
And now, how can I connect to esp8266.com, not to server's home page?
I'm successfully linked with TCP to 70.38.12.79 but when I received data, i got them from server's first page, not from esp8266.
How next?
Thanks for answers.

Presumably you now need to implement some minimal http protocol client. There are many versions of this on the web. Using the protocol you provide the URL you're requesting, and that tells the server you want
www.esp8266.com and not some other website (a single server can host many sites that way).

How can I do that?
Do I need to implement own firmware for ESP?

you dont need a fw for that.
you just need to do http commands.
once you are connected to: 70.38.12.79
issue: GET http: //www.esp8266.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=338
esp8266 will output below:
