using the winHTTP.dll
Author
hi all,
I need some functionality of winHTTP which is embedded in the winHTTP.DLL . How do I include the winHTTP.DLL in my project. Do I have to use some sort of #include (like a header )??

two seconds with google and msdn.microsoft.com

Note If you want to compile this sample code, you must include Windows.h, Winhttp.h, and Stdio.h. Also, you must link to WinHttp.lib and have WinHttp.dll installed on your system.

I can't find where I have to add the dll to my project. Google and msdn didnt help me.

PS: I guess this applies to all DLL and not just the winHTTP.DLL

put winhttp.lib in the object/libraries modules option under project->settings->link tab
it should automatically find the dll for you at runtime.

The problem is I only have the dll file (winHTTP.dll) not the lib file . Since winHTTP 5.1 comes standard with win 2000 SP 3 (which i m running) it doesn''t seem to be that I can download that lib somewhere...
What am I missing here?

You need to download the WinHTTP 5.1 SDK..which I think is part of the Feb2003 Plafform SDK.
Also, are you trying to use the DLL exported functions or the COM component WinHttpRequest, which is contained in the dll too?
If you''re trying to use the exports then you need the lib file - so get the SDK.
Otherwise you just need to create the component using CoCreateInstance (or CoCreateInstanceEx) depending on your needs.
If you don''t know which one you want to use then this might help:

thanks for the clear reply. The first time someone told me that winHTTP is included in that SDK. I could find it anywhere else.
It all works fine now and I m using the COM interface.
thanks again and regards
