HTTP using WinINet directly in mql4 - script for MetaTrader 4

Author: mapick

This is a "conceptual" script I developed to test the WinINet functions to load a HTTP page directly from mql4

The code imports the wininet.dll original windows library, then it calls all the needed functions, as stated in MSDN documentation, simply translating the mql data types:

You have only to run the script on a chart, and you'll see a MessageBox with the https://www.mql4.com html page

I used this code in one of my EA, to upload a set of signals from my ASP.NET site, calling a page that send the data file

This is the simple C# asp.net page code to send the file:

f (File.Exists(@ "C:\ ... my data directory .... \signs.csv" ))

{

Response.TransmitFile(@"C:\ ... my data directory .... \signs.csv");

Response.Flush();

Response.End();

}
