Detailed Description

    Where the Standard Template Library meets the WinInet API

The philosophy of InetSTL (http://inetstl.org/) is essentially the same as that of the STLSoft (http://stlsoft.org/) organisation: providing robust and lightweight software to the WinInet API development community. InetSTL provides template-based software that builds on that provided by Win and STLSoft in order to reduce programmer effort and increase robustness in the use of the Win.

Namespaces

The InetSTL namespace inetstl is actually an alias for the namespace stlsoft::inetstl_project, and as such all the InetSTL project components actually reside within the stlsoft namespace. However, there is never any need to use the stlsoft::inetstl_project namespace in your code, and you should always use the alias inetstl.

Dependencies

As with all parts of the STLSoft libraries, there are no dependencies on InetSTL binary components and no need to compile InetSTL implementation files; InetSTL is 100% header-only!

As with most of the STLSoft sub-projects, InetSTL depends only on:

• Selected headers from the C standard library, such as wchar.h
• Selected headers from the C++ standard library, such as new, functional
• Selected header files of the STLSoft main project
• The header files particular to the technology area, in this case the WinInet API library headers, such as objbase.h
• The binary (static and dynamic libraries) components particular to the technology area, in this case the WinInet API libraries that ship with the operating system and your compiler(s)

In addition, some parts of the libraries exhibit different behaviour when translated in different contexts, such as the value of _WIN32_WINNT, or with ntsecapi.h include. In all cases the libraries function correctly in whatever context they are compiled.
