Heres another example of using wininet in your own (projects)
Two source files http.c & Http.h:
Note there is no (main function) on this project,
Current functions:
Http_init()
http_release()
http_get()
http_write_mem()
http_download_mem()
http_download_file();
If you need more of an explanation on what each function does, Please respond and ill be more then happy to give a tutorial on what they do & how to do it.
