);
Parameters

Pointer to buffer that receives a string containing the URL. To retrieve the length of the string, set this parameter to NULL.
pcchURL
On input, pointer to the size of pwszURL, in characters. On output, this parameter receives the length of the URL in characters, including the terminating null character.

Remarks
You should make two calls to GetHostURL. On the first call, pass NULL as pwszURL. On return, the value pointed to by pcchURL is set to the number of characters, including the terminating null character, required to hold the URL. Then you can allocate the required amount of memory for the string and pass a pointer to it as pwszURL on the second call.
