The WinHTTP is easy to use wrapper over WinInet library (also used in standard programs like Internet Explorer, MS Outlook etc), which allows to get and post any data from the Web by HTTP protocol. With WinHTTP you can grab Web pages, download files and documents (or only their headers without the content), get results of the CGI programs (for example, results of web-based search engines / databases), or even to the CGI programs.In case if you want download documents from local intranet x97 just specify file:// prefix in the URL instead of http:// or https://.The WinHTTP can grab web contents both in binary and text formats, supports cache of Internet Explorer, can resume broken downloads, read data from password protected directories and supports and automatically supports several proxy authentication schemes (basic, digest, NTLM etc). Also it can be used in ActiveX forms, for example to build Web-based installation programs.
