I want to call the API of my application from an IE extension. I am developing an extension in which the browser extension will call the API whenever a webpage is loaded.

in simple words, How can i send HTTP request from BHO.

  • This isn’t really a question. More details are needed. – David Storey May 29 '13 at 06:13
  • Okay.For eg. I have a icont button on browser window (note:not in web page) just like 'home' & 'Favorite' button. On click of icon button, browser extension will call an API of certain application which is hosted somewhere else on the web and pass some parameters. – Mukesh Sakre May 29 '13 at 06:19

    Natives APIs are [WinINet](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa383630%28v=vs.85%29.aspx), [WinHTTP](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa382925%28v=vs.85%29.aspx) – Roman R. May 29 '13 at 06:35
  • If you say Native APIs then let me know what is meaning of Native here? – Mukesh Sakre May 29 '13 at 06:36

    Native is the opposite to managed. These are Windows core APIs matching your request, those you can use from your [tag:atl] project. – Roman R. May 29 '13 at 11:42
  • With the use of WinHTTP, WinINet, i will be able to call an exposed API of application hosted on web? – Mukesh Sakre May 30 '13 at 06:55
