Hello everyone, I am making a 3D game, and got bored of programming vectors, SO I decided to rest for a while do something else, And I figured because I dind''t know how to programm sokets, internet protocols or anything to do with networking programming that I would program a MFC Download Manager to learn TCI/IP,HTTP, FTP, and all that. Here''s my question: My app can resume interupted donwloads, accelerate downloads etc.., but I can''t figure out how to get IE or Netscape to use my app when downloading files. eg. when I click on a hyperlink that links to a file (which is not a text file like txt or html) the browser will launch my app. HOW DO I MONITOR BROWSER CLICKS? Any help plz.

well you can''t directly check for hyperlinks as far as I know... the only way I know of doing it is to write a plug in... I can''t think of any particular site that tells you how to do this... but do a search for "netscape plugin programming" or something and you should come up with some pages to tell you how to go about creating a plugin...

There''s a program out there called Mass Downloader that does this kind of thing... you might try contacting the developer.

May I ask if you used Microsoft''s Init API?
I have been messing around with uploading files
to a CGI via HTTP and was wondering if there
was a way to monitor how much has been uploaded
so I can do a progress meter.

Thanks for any help!!!


Oh, isn''t there a way in Netscape to associate file
extensions with an application? Or are you trying
to download everything (even pics) via your program?

You don''t need anything like a plugin, just go to Edit, prefs, Navigator, helper apps, new type, then select your app. you only need plugins if you don''t want a window to pop up, like flash.

(BTW, I use Netscape)
