Re: Win Explorer wants to connect to sa.windows.co

Glad the article was useful.

Do you have any references for the IWebBrowser thing? I haven't heard of it before, but it sounds like a huge security hole. I did a few quick web searches, but found nothing that really explains it.

Thanks.

Here's the MSDN info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/browser/prog_browser_node_entry.asp

The method for sending data to a web server is the IWebBrowser2::Navigate() method described here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/browser/webbrowser/reference/IFaces/IWebBrowser2/Navigate.asp
Notice the fourth argument, "PostData". That's the data to send to the server. Here's the description: "PostData [in] Pointer to data to send with the HTTP POST transaction. For example, the POST transaction is used to send data gathered by an HTML form."
