WinInet Migration (Windows CE 5.0)
The following list shows the WinInet migration considerations:
The InternetSetCookie function does not check security zone settings. To determine the zone settings, use the InternetSetCookieEx function.
Username and password in the URL string are disabled by default. To enable this functionality, set the DisableUserPswdForHTTP value to 0. This value is located under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings registry key. For more information about the registry settings, see WinInet Registry Settings.
Security Note Setting this value to 0 is not recommended because it enables username and password in the URL. This may expose the device to potential security threats.
In Windows CE .NET 4.1, support for Passport SSI 1.4 authentication was added to WinInet. In Windows CE .NET 4.2, this functionality became a separate Catalog item. To retain Passport authentication support when migrating from Windows CE .NET 4.1 to a later version, set the SYSGEN_WININET_TWEENER Sysgen variable.
