Rick,
That sounds fair enough, and thanks for the heads up. However, we are a
bit timid to use WININET as a result of some of the changes getting
ready to role out of MS. We are concerned that there may be changes made
to WININET that could adversely affect this nearly supportless application.
The reason we looked at perhaps using a third party control was to
prevent something like the problems we saw in the change from IE 5 to IE
5.5 control changes. You know at Neoplanet, I am quite sure, that
depending on a MS component can be dangerous, and one never really knows
the directions they are going with things.
Anyway, if Moz's network interface is not due to be further modularized,
I guess then we have to look in other directions. Shame really ...
Thanks for the heads up, and if any others have some ideas, please shoot
them to me ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Thanks
Jason Key
