MFC and Drivers

NTFSD

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to build a driver using the MFC WinInet
classes to have a driver connect to a CGI script on a remote web server?

If the MFC classes will not build/are not feasable due to build size –
will standard TCP/IP sockets cause any problems?

Thanks,
-Scott

You won’t be able to use MFC or sockets in the kernel. If you have
a need to ‘connect to a script on a remote web server’ you would really be
best off building a user mode service to do this kind of high level work,
and setting up a means of communication between your driver and the service.
There are plenty of well tried schemes for communicating between a user mode
service and a driver.
If you insist on calling out to the network from your driver, you
could use TDI, or, a third party network api implementation, such as KSOCKS
(http://www.osr.com/toolkits_ksocks.shtml).
