ssl connection and Wininet

[pascal Rondepierre]

Hello,

here is my problem.

I use IE6 and establish a SSL connection with it .

I would like to know if it is possible to use this RUNNING SSL connection
(key
session) with WININET (or MSINET).

or is it (the running SSL connection) unreachable by WININET

Thanks for your help

If your WinInet-based code is running within that IE process (for example,
as an ActiveX control), and you send an HTTP/SSL request to the same target
server that IE communicated with, then it is possible that WinInet will
reuse the same socket connection. WinInet maintains a process-wide pool of
socket connections, including SSL connections. (The WinInet
session/connect/request handles that IE uses are not accessible, but you do
not need them anyway as far as I know.) However, there is no guarantee that
WinInet will use the same socket. (Recent IE6 security patches may have
changed WinInet's behavior w.r.t. reusing SSL connections.)
