For example, you can use ExtraInfo to specify the coordinates of an image map, the contents of a form, or a FAT file name. The string is either posted or appended, depending on the value of Method. Use the ExtraInfoRequired property to determine whether extra information is required.
Method

HeaderInfo
Type: System.Object%A string that specifies header information for the HTTP request. The default value is an empty string.

The specified string is automatically converted into ANSI characters. Note that the HeaderInfo argument might overwrite default HTTP header fields.
Remarks
This method displays the cached document located at the Address parameter, if it has already been downloaded. Otherwise, this method resolves the hyperlink, downloads the target document, and displays the document in the appropriate application. If the hyperlink uses the file protocol, this method opens the document instead of downloading it.
