Hi,
One thought though, why not let wininet take care of file:// URL's as well? Or actually don't try to parse the url string at all and just pass it down to NETIO_IE5 unfiltered? The advantage is setup would be able toI'd be happy to look at a separate patch to do this.
See proposed incremental patch. Have a look, give me your thoughts.
Seem to work with \\server\share_name\path or //server/share_name/path now anywayhandle what ever protocols wininet has. Also letting wininet taking care of file:// url's would let the user install from a local networkI'm pretty sure I've done that in the past, so I think it already works. The form of file: URL required might not be strictly correct, though, (I think file:////server/pathname/ ?)
