I don't know about detail, but ... wininet.h is the header file for the WinINet APIs: "The Windows Internet (WinINet) application programming interface (API) enables applications to interact with Gopher, FTP, and HTTP protocols to access Internet resources. " winsock.h is the header file for the Windows Sockets 2 APIs: "Windows Sockets 2 (Winsock) enables programmers to create advanced Internet, intranet, and other network-capable applications to transmit application data across the wire, independent of the network protocol being used."

can winsock do the functionality of WinINet?

You could write your own FTP/HTTP/etc. code using Windows Sockets but you'd need to thoroughly understand those protocols. The idea of WinInet is to make that easier. WinInet is probably using sockets for its communication. Mark

Dear Mark, I really appreciate your response, can you provide me any example or link of winsock Which is used FTP/HTTP/GOPHER?. One thing more, Winsock used any default protocol ? Questions: 1) how the checksum play role in this socket programming.? 2) what is the difference between synchronous and asynchronous socket?
