Using wininet.dll - Does Calling InternetOpen, FTPGetFile, etc. in VB
create a log file? If so, Where is it stored? If not, is there a way
to enable this or is logging manual?

I think you need to get the debug version of WinInet.dll in order for it to
create a log.

That is correct- you need to get the Internet SDK, it will have a debug
logging version of the wininet DLL.

Where do I find this debug version of wininet.dll? I've just installed the
latest Platdorm SDK from MSDN (February 2003) and the only wininet
componennts I can find are the lib and the header.

thanks

OK let me be more precise - when I said "I've just installed the latest
Platdorm SDK from MSDN (February 2003)", I meant the Internet Development
SDK from the Platform SDK. Is this the Internet SDK to which you refer, or
should I be looking for it from another source?

thanks

Matt,

What you did is install the Internt Development component of the Platform
SDK.

I think that WinInet-related files used to be part of the ActiveX SDK that
was later renamed the Internet Client SDK (not Internet SDK). Those were
separate SDKs. But I think it has since been integrated with the Platform
SDK.

KB article 182894 says "DbgWinInet.txt is in the Platform SDK and can be
found with the debug version of Wininet.dll in the /Mssdk/Bin/Debug/Wininet
directory", but I don't know what component you must install to get this
directory and this article is relatively old (Last Reviewed 5/17/2002).

So, Erin, would you care to be more specific if you know where this thing
is, because we don't!

Paul,

Sorry, them being in the "Internet SDK" is what I understood as well.
Can't recall if I've ever actually downloaded one for the debug wininet.dll.
The last 3 debug DLLs I have, have been provided by MS Developer Support to
help troubleshoot code problems and bugs.

I am currently working with the WinINet/ISAPI group on the 3rd case of 3
steming from Q832894. I'll email the tech asking for "precise" information
(perhaps a link) and post it here for all. I do know these things REALLY
come in handy.
