Windows HTTP Services (WinHTTP)
Eintrag zuletzt aktualisiert am: 07.07.2006

"Microsoft® Windows®
HTTP Services (Win
HTTP) provides developers with a server-supported, high-level interface to the
HTTP/1.1 Internet protocol. Win
HTTP is designed to be used primarily in server-based scenarios by server applications that communicate with
HTTP servers. Win
HTTP is also designed for use in system services and
HTTP-based client applications. Win
HTTP is more secure and robust than WinInet. However, single-user applications that need
FTP or gopher functionality, cookie persistence, caching, automatic credential dialog handling,
Internet Explorer compatibility, or downlevel platform support should still consider using WinInet."
