L_VOID LInetHttp::LInetHttp(L_VOID)

L_VOID LInetHttp::LInetHttp(pszServer, pszUserName = NULL, pszPassword = NULL, nPort = 80)

L_TCHAR *pszServer;

/* name of server to connect to */

L_TCHAR *pszUserName;

/* username for authentication */

L_TCHAR *pszPassword;

/* password for authentication */

L_INT nPort;

/* port number to connect to */

Constructs and initializes the member variables of the LInetHttp object.

Parameter

Description

pszServer

Character string that contains the name of the server to which to connect. The name can be a network name, an IP address, or a domain name (www.leadtools.com).

pszUserName

Character string containing the username to be used for authentication. Default value is NULL.

pszPassword

Character string containing the password to be used for authentication. Default value is NULL.

nPort

Number of the port to which to connect. The default port assignment for web servers is 80.

Returns

None.

Comments

LInetHttp::LInetHttp() is the default LInetHttp constructor. After calling the this constructor, a user must call LInetHttp::Connect to establish a connection before using other functions.

LInetHttp::LInetHttp(pszServer, pszUserName = NULL, pszPassword = NULL, nPort = 80) is a constructor for the LInetHttp object. It connects to the HTTP server. If both pszUserName and pszPassword are NULL, the connection is made anonymously.

A connection to an HTTP server must be established before using any other HTTP functions. If a connection is disconnected, via either LInetHttp::Disconnect or LInetHttp::~LInetHttp, then a connection must be re-established before any other HTTP functions are called. LInetHttp::Connect and LInetHttp::LInetHttp can be used to establish a connection with an HTTP server.
