CHttpConnection

The MFC class CHttpConnection manages your connection to an HTTP server. HTTP is one of three Internet server protocols implemented by the MFC WinInet classes.

The class CHttpConnection contains a constructor and one member function, OpenRequest, that manages connections to a server with an HTTP protocol.

To communicate with an HTTP server, you must first create an instance of CInternetSession, and then create a CHttpConnection object. You never create a CHttpConnection object directly; rather, call CInternetSession::GetHttpConnection, which creates the CHttpConnection object and returns a pointer to it.

To learn more about how CHttpConnection works with the other MFC Internet classes, see the article Internet Programming with WinInet in Visual C++ Programmer’s Guide. For more information about connecting to servers using the other two supported Internet protocols, gopher and FTP, see the classes CGopherConnection and CFtpConnection.
