Remarks

The IUrlAccessor interface is the main interface for pulling data from the content source. The Get* methods are used for properties that are useful to or required by the Filter Daemon. Not all data sources will have these properties. If the property returned by one of these methods is not meaningful for your data source, your protocol handler should return E_NOTIMPL. The Bind* methods provide access to the data.

Although the protocol handler runs in the Filter Daemon's multithreaded environment, only one thread is employed for each item.
