The Windows CE Internet API (WinInet), is an API used for Internet client application development. The Wininet.dll module exports WinInet functions used to develop Internet applications like Web browsers and FTP applications.
WinInet is similar to WinInet for Windows-based desktop platforms with the following exceptions:
- Microsoft ActiveX controls are not supported.
- The Gopher protocol and Gopher functions are not supported.
WinInet enables multithreaded applications to make concurrent calls to WinInet functions from different threads. WinInet functions synchronize if necessary, but do not validate parameters.
For more information about Windows Internet programming, see this Microsoft Web site.
