While you are working on the wininet stuff... If you have time could you look at a way to be able to make use of Winsock on the mingw port? We wanted to convert wininet to winsock but Alexandre says this will be to slow on Unix so we need to do something the wininet souce to be able to make it use Unix sockets on Unix and Winsock on the windows port. I dont really understand or know how this should be done as I never really have done any socket programing. If you could fix it for Wininet or point me to a example then I can try and do it for other dlls we might want to share on the Windows port. I am thinking about trying to port our ICMP.dll to Winsock also for the Mingw/ReactOS port but once again it needs to be able to do both Winsock and Unix Sockets.
I could take a look at it once I finish with a few other changes I have planned for wininet, not sure when that will be exactly however (at least a week or two).
