Remarks

Urlmon.dll uses the IUnknown::QueryInterface method on the client application's implementation of IBindStatusCallback to obtain a pointer to the client application's IAuthenticate interface. If the client application is hosting Mshtml.dll, Mshtml.dll will request a pointer to the client application's implementation of IAuthenticate interface by calling IUnknown::QueryInterface on the client application's IServiceProvider interface.
