when I try to compile a D program with wininet.lib it throws this: Error 43: Not a Valid Library File

can anyone tell me how I might use the wininet APIs?  thanks,

Chris

Is this a SDK file or one that ships with MS ?  If so you'll need to run coff2omf over it ( Optlink, DM's linker, uses OMF format, MS uses coff ).  You can probably find a working DM version at www.dprogramming.com.

Where did you find wininet.lib? If isn't in Digital Mars format, then you'll need either: (1) to create a new .lib, (2) to find a new .lib, or (3) to convert it into Digital Mars format.

Here's a thread related to the incompatibility of Digital Mars's .libs and mentions the process of creating your own:

Could that be related to std.socket? http://www.digitalmars.com/d/phobos.html#socket

Just a guess. Good luck.
