AfxParseURLEx

Visual Studio 2008

This global function is the extended version of AfxParseURL and is used in CInternetSession::OpenURL.

BOOL AFXAPI AfxParseURLEx( 
   LPCTSTR pstrURL, 
   DWORD& dwServiceType, 
   CString& strServer, 
   CString& strObject, 
   INTERNET_PORT& nPort, 
   CString& strUsername, 
   CString& strPassword, 
   DWORD dwFlags = 0  
);

Parameters

pstrURL

A pointer to a string containing the URL to be parsed.

dwServiceType

Indicates the type of Internet service. Possible values are as follows:

AFX_INET_SERVICE_FTP
AFX_INET_SERVICE_HTTP
AFX_INET_SERVICE_HTTPS
AFX_INET_SERVICE_GOPHER
AFX_INET_SERVICE_FILE
AFX_INET_SERVICE_MAILTO
AFX_INET_SERVICE_NEWS
AFX_INET_SERVICE_NNTP
AFX_INET_SERVICE_TELNET
AFX_INET_SERVICE_WAIS
AFX_INET_SERVICE_MID
AFX_INET_SERVICE_CID
AFX_INET_SERVICE_PROSPERO
AFX_INET_SERVICE_AFS
AFX_INET_SERVICE_UNK

strServer

The first segment of the URL following the service type.

strObject

An object that the URL refers to (may be empty).

nPort

Determined from either the Server or Object portions of the URL, if either exists.

strUsername

A reference to a CString object containing the name of the user.

strPassword

A reference to a CString object containing the password of the user.

dwFlags

The flags controlling how to parse the URL. Can be a combination of the following values:

Value	Meaning
ICU_DECODE	Convert %XX escape sequences to characters.
ICU_NO_ENCODE	Do not convert unsafe characters to escape sequence.
ICU_NO_META	Do not remove meta sequences (such as "\ ." and "\ ..") from the URL.
ICU_ENCODE_SPACES_ONLY	Encode spaces only.
ICU_BROWSER_MODE	Do not encode or decode characters after '#' or '?', and do not remove trailing white space after '?'. If this value is not specified, the entire URL is encoded and trailing white space is removed.

If you use the MFC default, which is no flags, the function converts all unsafe characters and meta sequences (such as \.,\ .., and \...) to escape sequences.

Return Value

Nonzero if the URL was successfully parsed; otherwise, 0 if it is empty or does not contain a known Internet service type.

Remarks

It parses a URL string and returns the type of service and its components, as well as providing the user's name and password. The flags indicate how unsafe characters are handled.

Note:
To call this function, your project must include AFXINET.H.
