The URLDownloadToCacheFile, URLDownloadToFile, URLOpenBlockingStream, URLOpenPullStream, and URLOpenStreamfunctions combine the capabilities of asynchronous monikers and URL monikers into easy-to-use functions.

The following code example shows how to use the URLOpenBlockingStreamfunction.

Copy Code 
IStream* pStream;
char buffer[0x100];
DWORD dwGot;
HRESULT hr = NOERROR;

// Open a blocking type stream to the Web site stored in the 
// string szWebSite.
URLOpenBlockingStream( 0, szWebSite, &pStream, 0, 0);

do {
	hr = pStream->Read( buffer, sizeof(buffer), &dwGot );
	// Do something with contents of buffer. 
} while( SUCCEEDED(hr) && hr != S_FALSE);

return TRUE;

pStream->Release();

For more information about how to use the URL Moniker interfaces, methods, and functions, see the URL Monikers SDK documentation in the MSDN online library.
