IInternetSession::RegisterNameSpace   

I have created a test implementation of IInternetProtocol class, and 
want to register temporary pluggable namespace handler for my program.

How do I create a CLSID and bind my class fileInternetProtocol to CLSID, 
and ultimately to IClassFactory, so I can register my class with 
IInternetSession::RegisterNameSpace?

I use Borland C++ Builder 6, without ATL, MFC nor VCL. So far I have the 
following: fileInternetProtocol - a test implementation of 
IInternetProtocol, and a web browser object which works fine. Everything 
I saw so far was using ATL and this is what I would like to avoid.

class fileInternetProtocol : public IInternetProtocol
{
....
     public:
     STDMETHODIMP Start(LPCWSTR szUrl, IInternetProtocolSink *pOIProtSink,
         IInternetBindInfo *pOIBindInfo, DWORD grfPI, HANDLE_PTR 
dwReserved);
....
     STDMETHODIMP Read(void *pv, ULONG cb, ULONG *pcbRead);
....
};

What I am stuck with is how do I bind a CLSID to the 
fileInternetProtocol class and pass everything to RegisterNameSpace() 
correctly.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Ivan.

You generate an arbitrary new CLSID, say with GuidGen. You implement a 
class factory object capable of creating instances of your protocol 
handler. You call RegisterNameSpace passing the class factory pointer, 
the CLSID you generated, and the URL scheme your protocol supports.

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
