|About URL Monikers||
A moniker is a COM object that identifies an object and provides services to allow other components to obtain a pointer to that object. The system-provided moniker class supports asynchronous binding to a Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
|Creating and Using URL Monikers||
There are two ways of viewing the use of monikers: as a moniker client and as a moniker provider. A moniker client is a component that uses a moniker to get a pointer to another object. A moniker provider is a component that supplies monikers that identify its objects to moniker clients.
|Handling MIME Types in Internet Explorer||
When Windows Internet Explorer downloads a file, it goes through several steps to ensure that the type of the file matches the MIME type declared by the HTTP server.
|MIME Type Detection in Internet Explorer||
In Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and later, MIME type determination occurs in URL monikers through the FindMimeFromData method. Determining the MIME type allows URL monikers and other components to find and launch the correct object server or application to handle the associated content. This section provides a brief summary of the logic used in determining the MIME type from these sources, and also discusses some of the issues involved.
URL monikers allow an application to bind a resource, specified by a URL, to a moniker.
