This section is not for faint of heart. If you're writing applications that rely on information exchange from a variety of standard and custom protocols, you'll find it here.
If you want to use the Internet as the platform for sharing and collaborating information across your company, you'll be interested in our section on the Common Internet File System. CIFS defines a standard remote file system access protocol that allows disparate groups of workers to access and exchange files and documents. Our CIFS section provides an introduction to CIFS, the benefits of using CIFS, a list of products and vendors, and even some specifications and resources.
Did someone say protocols? We've got information on both predefined protocols, which include a bunch of Internet standards such as FTP, HTTP, Gopher, Telnet, and more, as well as asynchronous pluggable protocols, which enable developers to build their own MIME filters, namespace handlers, or protocol handlers (should they be so bold).
In for a penny, in for a pound. If you're working with asynchronous pluggable protocols, you'll also want information about URL Monikers, a system-provided moniker class that allows asynchronous linking to URLs. And because you'll be mucking about in Win32 system resources, we've also developed a sizable reference to the Win32 Internet Functions.
Finally, there are articles, or even entire sections, devoted to the HTML Clipboard Format, a format that converts HTML text to other formats such as ASCII for seamless cutting and pasting between applications, and ISAPI Filters (presented in the context of the CVTDOC ISAPI filter sample).
If all this isn't enough, there are also a set of links to additional technical assistance.
