Uniform Resource Locator (URL) Functions


The URL functions deal with URL manipulation and access. These functions operate in a task-oriented manner. The content and format of the URL that is being used by the function is not verified. Usage of these functions should be tracked by the calling application to ensure that the data is in the format intended.

InternetCanonicalizeUrl Canonicalizes a URL, which includes converting unsafe characters and spaces into escape sequences.
InternetCombineUrl Combines a base and relative URL into a single URL. The resultant URL will be canonicalized (see InternetCanonicalizeUrl).
InternetCrackUrl Cracks a URL into its component parts.
InternetCreateUrl Creates a URL from its component parts.
InternetOpenUrl Begins reading a complete FTP, Gopher, or HTTP URL. Use InternetCanonicalizeUrl first if the URL being used contains a relative URL and a base URL separated by blank spaces.
