Hi Folks,
bizarre...
InternetCrackUrl() is failing when called from a port monitor that I have
written but the same code works quite well in a console application that I
wrote to help diagnose this. (A port monitor is a user-extensible component
of the windows spooler and runs [I assume...] not in the context of the
user.)
So, what's happening? When I call InternetCrackUrl() from my console
process, it works just fine but when I call InternetCrackUrl() from my port
monitor, I see the URL_COMPONENTS structure remains unchanged and
GetLastError() reports 0x2EE6 which I can't decode. (When I remove high
order bits, on the assumption that these are "facility" encoding, I
eventually get to 0x6E6 which is an RPC error, and probably a red herring.)
Is this a linking problem? Probably not since other WININET functions
(InternetOpen(), InternetConnect(), HttpOpenRequest(), HttpSendRequest(),
InternetCloseHandle() to name a few) are working correctly and I can verify
there correct behavior from the access log of the http server.
Does anybody have any idea what is wrong or any suggestions for what I might
try to diagnose this?
Chris.
