Uniform Resource Locator (URL) Functions

The URL functions deal with URL manipulation and access. These functions operate in a task-oriented manner. The content and format of the URL that is being used by the function is not verified. Usage of these functions should be tracked by the calling application to ensure that the data is in the format intended.

InternetCanonicalizeUrl	Canonicalizes a URL, which includes converting unsafe characters and spaces into escape sequences.
InternetCombineUrl	Combines a base and relative URL into a single URL. The resultant URL will be canonicalized (see InternetCanonicalizeUrl).
InternetCrackUrl	Cracks a URL into its component parts.
InternetCreateUrl	Creates a URL from its component parts.
InternetOpenUrl	Begins reading a complete FTP, Gopher, or HTTP URL. Use InternetCanonicalizeUrl first if the URL being used contains a relative URL and a base URL separated by blank spaces.
