Syntax

HRESULT CoInternetQueryInfo(
             LPCWSTR     pwzUrl,
             QUERYOPTION QueryOption,
             DWORD       dwQueryFlags,
             LPVOID      pvBuffer,
             DWORD       cbBuffer,
             DWORD       *pcbBuffer,
  _Reserved_ DWORD       dwReserved
);

Parameters

  • pwzUrl
    A pointer to a string value that contains the URL.

  • QueryOption
    A QUERYOPTION value that indicates the option to query.

  • dwQueryFlags
    An unsigned long integer value that contains the query flags.

  • pvBuffer
    A pointer to the buffer where the information will be stored.

  • cbBuffer
    An unsigned long integer value that contains the size of the buffer.

  • pcbBuffer
    A pointer to an unsigned long integer variable where the size of the requested information will be stored.

  • dwReserved
    Reserved. Must be set to 0.

Return value

Returns one of the following values.

Return code Description
S_OK

The operation completed successfully.

E_FAIL

The operation failed.

S_FALSE

The buffer is too small to store the information.

INET_E_QUERYOPTION_UNKNOWN

The option requested is unknown.

 

Remarks

The CoInternetQueryInfo function is a wrapper around the IInternetProtocolInfo::QueryInfo method. Pluggable protocol handlers should return S_FALSE and INET_E_QUERYOPTION_UNKNOWN error codes, as described above. For URLs not handled by a pluggable protocol handler, this function returns E_FAIL for both "buffer too small" and "option unknown" errors.
