Thread: InternetCreateUrl() = GOT_A_PROBLEM

This doens't seem to work, which doesn't surprise me at all, but I don't know what needs fixing. Please help!

Code:

 
			URL_COMPONENTS url;
			url.lpszScheme = "2009test";
			url.dwSchemeLength = _tcslen("2009test");
			url.nScheme = INTERNET_SCHEME_FTP;
			url.lpszHostName = "alpha";
			url.dwHostNameLength = _tcslen("alpha");
			url.nPort = INTERNET_INVALID_PORT_NUMBER;
			url.lpszUserName = "test";
			url.dwUserNameLength = _tcslen("test");
			url.lpszPassword = "2009";
			url.dwPasswordLength = _tcslen("2009");
			url.lpszExtraInfo  = "?something";
			url.dwExtraInfoLength  = _tcslen("?something");
			url.dwStructSize = sizeof(url);
			DWORD lpdwUrlLength = _tcslen("2tWeb");
			InternetCreateUrl(&url, ICU_ESCAPE, "2tWeb", &lpdwUrlLength);

Well that was brief.
I see you're still continuing your habit of posting questions with ........-all information.

Got any error messages to go along with that?

Code:

InternetCreateUrl(&url, ICU_ESCAPE, "2tWeb", &lpdwUrlLength);

The third argument is meant to be a buffer where the created url is placed. If all the components are constant there is little use in using InternetCreateUrl, just use a string literal with the actual url. I am not sure if urls with username and password are supported anymore. You'll have to check.

I didn't get any.

You mean like: "http://"?

No, a buffer:

Code:

TCHAR buffer[1024];
DWORD cchBuffer = 1024;
InternetCreateUrl(&url, ICU_ESCAPE, buffer, &cchBuffer);
MessageBox(NULL, buffer, TEXT("URL"), 0);
