Re: [PATCH setup 11/11] Use wininet for fetching URLs in direct (non-proxy) case (DO NOT APPLY)

[Åke Rehnman]

Hi,

One thought though, why not let wininet take care of file:// URL's as
well? Or actually don't try to parse the url string at all and just pass
it down to NETIO_IE5 unfiltered? The advantage is setup would be able to

I'd be happy to look at a separate patch to do this.
See proposed incremental patch. Have a look, give me your thoughts.


handle what ever protocols wininet has. Also letting wininet taking care
of file:// url's would let the user install from a local network

I'm pretty sure I've done that in the past, so I think it already 
works.  The form of file: URL required might not be strictly correct, 
though, (I think file:////server/pathname/ ?)
Seem to work with \\server\share_name\path or //server/share_name/path 
now anyway
