InternetConnect fails

In a program I am making I decided to use the wininet library. So I linked it and got everything set up. Then I tried to connect to google using InternetConnect. I know I saw something on MSDN that says if you use the user part blank it will return an error if you are using the HTTP protocol, which I am. Here is the parameters I passed to InternetConnect:

Code:

---

InternetConnect(NULL,"www.google.com",INTERNET_DEFAULT_HTTP_PORT,NULL,NULL,INTERNET_SERVICE_HTTP,0,0);

---

The two NULL parameters after INTERNET_DEFAULT_HTTP_PORT are the user and password. I did try plugging "guest" into those but still failed. By failing I don't mean not compiling I mean returning a NULL handle. Is there a certain thing I need to send as user or am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

Well saying which error(s) you've got rather than just "doesn't work" would help.

As would a bit of code around the single function call, which is no doubt the same as the example line on MSDN.

You have to call InternetOpen first and supply the returned handle to InternetConnect. WinINet sample here.

Yes, thanks anonytmouse that was the problem. I didn't supply any code because I had a feeling it was a simple problem like that. If it turned out to be more complex(which it wasn't) I would have supplied more information. Salem I don't see where I put "doesn't work" in my first post, oh yeah that's because I DIDN'T! I said it returned a NULL handle not an error.

So you did this?

Code:

---

InternetOpen(TEXT("www.google.com"), PRE_CONFIG_INTERNET_ACCESS, NULL, NULL, 0));
InternetConnect(NULL,"www.google.com",INTERNET_DEFAULT_HTTP_PORT,NULL,NULL,INTERNET_SER  VICE_HTTP,0,0);

---

I did this:

Code:

---

HINTERNET IntOp=InternetOpen("NewBrowserTool",INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG,NULL,NULL,INTERNET_FLAG_ASYNC);
if(IntOp!=NULL)
{
HINTERNET hGoogle=InternetConnect(IntOp,"www.google.com",INTERNET_DEFAULT_HTTP_PORT,NULL,NULL,INTERNET_SERVICE_HTTP,NULL,NULL);
}
