Remarks
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a lightweight,
stateless application protocol that is used to access resources on
web servers, as well as send data to those servers for processing.
The control provides direct, low-level access to the server and the
commands that are used to retrieve resources (i.e.: documents,
images, etc.). The control also provides a simple interface for
downloading resources to the local host, similar to how the FTP
control can be used to download files.
In a typical session, the control is used to establish a
connection, send a request (to download a resource, post data for
processing, etc.), read the data returned by the server and then
disconnect. It is the responsibility of the client to process the
data returned by the server, depending on the type of resource that
was requested. For example, if an HTML document was requested, the
client may parse the contents of the file, looking for specific
information (such as hyperlinks or email addresses).
This control supports secure connections using the standard SSL
and TLS protocols. A SocketTools Secure Visual Edition license must
be purchased to use the security features in this control.
Requirements
This ActiveX control is supported on Windows 2000, Windows XP,
Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. If you
are using Windows 2000, it is required that you have Service Pack
(SP4) installed. If you are using Windows XP, it is required that
you have at least Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed and it is
recommended that you install Internet Explorer 7.0. It is also
recommended that all critical updates to the Windows operating
system be installed.
The SocketTools Visual Edition components are compatible with
any development tool that fully supports COM (Component Object
Model) and the ActiveX control specification. This includes Visual
Studio 6.0, Visual Studio .NET 2003, Visual Studio 2005 and Visual
Studio 2008. If you are using Visual Basic 6.0 or Visual C++ 6.0,
it is required that you have Service Pack 6 (SP6) installed. If you
are using Visual Studio .NET 2003 or Visual Studio 2005, it is
recommended that you install Service Pack 1 (SP1). In all cases, it
is recommended that you have the current updates for your
development tools installed.
Distribution
When you distribute an application that uses this control, you
should install the appropriate file in the Windows system
directory. ActiveX controls must be registered on the target system
by the installation program before they can be used by an
application.
