does URL exist?

[TheSarlacc]

is there any API call that can check if a URL exists?

The only way I know of is to type it into the browser and see what happens.

How will this control VERIFY the existence, or non-existence, of a URL?

go go serge

this is no "Api all the way"...
this is pure MFC

:-)

thumbs up !

This is not MFC. It's an API of the wininet.dll.

[Peyote]

yes, but these two are actualy references to c functions using win32 platform.
kinda like vb creators sed-
though we created a smart vb "String" type for c language operator: "char a[size]"
we were too lazy creating the rest of the optional functions..
this is what the api is all about actualy. heh..

for instance:
whan you are writing a code in c++ (MFC) you are actualy using this exact same function:
InternetOpen(...) (not defining any API's ofcorse cause it allready build in in the #defininitions ;-)

tell me, can you help me?
im the one titled "help help help"
please...

It exists in MFC because MS wrapped it into the MFC class.
