InternetOpenUrl Unhandled exception [duplicate] - c++

Question

This is a shortened version of my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <urlmon.h>
#include <wininet.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "urlmon.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "wininet.lib")
void data();
void test(std::string received) {
data();
Sleep(1);
}
void data() {
- >>HINTERNET connect = InternetOpen(L"MyBrowser", INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG, NULL, NULL, 0);
HINTERNET OpenAddress = InternetOpenUrl(connect, L"web page", NULL, 0, INTERNET_FLAG_PRAGMA_NOCACHE | INTERNET_FLAG_KEEP_CONNECTION, 0);
char dataReceived[5000];
std::string received;
DWORD NumberOfBytesRead = 0;
while (InternetReadFile(OpenAddress, dataReceived, 5000, &NumberOfBytesRead) && NumberOfBytesRead)
{
received += std::string(dataReceived);
}
- >>InternetCloseHandle(connect);
InternetCloseHandle(OpenAddress);
test(received);
}
int main() {
data();
}
Please tell me how to normally move the selected lines (- >>) outside the function to run them once?

Answer 1

Change data() and test() to take an HINTERNET as a parameter, and then main() can create the HINTERNET to pass in, eg:
#include <iostream>
#include <urlmon.h>
#include <wininet.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "urlmon.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "wininet.lib")
void data(HINTERNET connect);
void test(HINTERNET connect, std::string received) {
data(connect);
Sleep(1);
}
void data(HINTERNET connect) {
HINTERNET OpenAddress = InternetOpenUrl(connect, L"web page", NULL, 0, INTERNET_FLAG_PRAGMA_NOCACHE | INTERNET_FLAG_KEEP_CONNECTION, 0);
char dataReceived[5000];
std::string received;
DWORD NumberOfBytesRead = 0;
while (InternetReadFile(OpenAddress, dataReceived, 5000, &NumberOfBytesRead) && NumberOfBytesRead)
{
received += std::string(dataReceived);
}
InternetCloseHandle(OpenAddress);
test(connect, received);
}
int main() {
HINTERNET connect = InternetOpen(L"MyBrowser", INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG, NULL, NULL, 0);
data(connect);
InternetCloseHandle(connect);
}
