using Passthruapp with IE   

Hi all,

I am new to PassthruAPP & require some help.

There are 2 issues that I am facing.

1. I want to record all http request - response for Internet Explorer.
What changes do I need to do to achieve this.

2. I want Passthruapp to run in background --- i.e . when a user
navigates to a page through Internet Explorer he should not come to
know about PassthruApp being running.

How to disable the PassthruAPP GUI (window that is displayed)  & show
the page as in Internet Explorer.

PassthruAPP itself doesn't have any GUI. My sample project that 
demonstrates the APP does. You'll need to study and understand the 
sample, then you'll realize which parts are the meat and which are just 
for show.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not 
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to 
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly 
overhead. -- RFC 1925

Hi Igor,

I am new to APP, so it is bit difficult to digest the code.
what I understood from the code is that  we take the IwebBrowser2
pointer of the dialog window and call the navigate method, then we get
the page in the dialog window.

What I tried with it is -- I removed the dialog window code & started
an instance of IE within that code . I used the following code.

hr = CoCreateInstance (CLSID_InternetExplorer, NULL, CLSCTX_SERVER,
IID_IWebBrowser2, (LPVOID*)&pWebBrowser);

with the above statement i got the IWebBrowser2  pointer of the
Internet Explorer window and then used it to navigate to a URL.

The naviigation was succcessful but the code didnt gave me any http
request or response details .
I monitored the BeginningTransaction method of the APP, it was never
called for the navigation made by this instance of IE.

So anyway to solve the issue ?

Please help !!!

Thanks & eagerly waiting your reply.
Hitesh.

This is not part of the APP - it's just there to generate some HTTP 
requests for APP to intercept.

This creates a standalone instance of Internet Explorer as a separate 
process. An APP is registered per-process: an APP you register in your 
application has no effect on that IE instance (which, again, runs in a 
separate process). You must register your APP from inside IE's process.
