InternetReadFileExA3w

Usage

Overview

Read data from an open internet file.

Params

hFile [In] Handle returned by InternetOpenUrl or HttpOpenRequest.

lpBuffersOut [In/Out] Buffer.

dwFlags [In] Flags. See notes.

dwContext [In] Context for callbacks.

Returns

TRUE on success FALSE on failure.

Notes

The parameter dwFlags include zero or more of the following flags:
IRF_ASYNC - Makes the call asynchronous.
IRF_SYNC - Makes the call synchronous.
IRF_USE_CONTEXT - Forces dwContext to be used.
IRF_NO_WAIT - Don't block if the data is not available, just return what is available.

However, in testing IRF_USE_CONTEXT seems to have no effect - dwContext isn't used.
