The implementation might be messy (was my first win32 app), but the concept
is very simple. All the work (establishing connection, transfering files,
etc) is
held by the external functions in wininet.dll. At microsoft's workshop website
is a complete reference to the wininet routines. If you need assitance please
email me, I'll be glad to help.

Yes. In fact, exw.exe is a console application it self. A WIN32 application
will
only become "windowed" if you explicitly create a window (by yourself, with
win32lib, or with VE).
