When pieces are missing from header files it is because no one has added
the missing pieces.

There is no hidden agenda.

If you would like pieces added, then please supply a patch that adds
what you require to the appropriate header file.

So I take it that that means there is no inherent problem with these
functions, after all guess they are straight calls to the underlying
operating system. Its just that I saw a similar query in the mailing
list in 1999, and a related posted fix (I can get the precise
references if required), but nothing seems to have permanently added
to the release since then, at least in the sense that the problem
remains.

Excuse my ignorant questioning, but I've only just recently been
dragged into having to use windows.

A mailing list search does not unearth the term InternetGetConnectedState
via either google.com or in the cygwin mailing lists, so I guess an
actual reference is necessary.

I'm not sure what Windows has to do with this.  This is an open source
project pretty much like any other.  If you find things missing, you
can roll up your sleeves and contribute the missing bits.

If a patch fell through the cracks, then that's pretty standard too.

Re: InternetGetConnectedState

Christopher,
Here are links:



http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/1999-05/msg00003.html

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/1999-10/msg00512.html


to the two messages I was thinking about.
In particular the second message has a link to 

http://www.acc.umu.se/~anorland/gnu-win32/w32api.html

which itself has links (to a more recent version). 

And indeed in the former: 

chipotle.w32api-0.1.5> rgrep -r InternetGet *
include/wininet.h:BOOL WINAPI InternetGetLastResponseInfoA(PDWORD,LPSTR,PDWORD);
include/wininet.h:BOOL WINAPI InternetGetLastResponseInfoW(PDWORD,LPWSTR,PDWORD);

Thanks, Danny.  I was hoping that you'd notice this thread.

FWIW, I have just submitted patch to wininet.h which includes the above
and related function prototypes and flags.  I've been sitting on them
for awhile, and this thread reminded me of them.

It's probably because we're just plain mean.

InternetGetConnectedState

[Ian A. Mason]

I am curious as to why InternetGetConnectedState and related
functions are not in the cygwin wininet.h. Surely these
are common enough to warrant inclusion, is there some
deep and meaningful reason they are not there?
