Does SocketWrench use the Microsoft WinInet library?
No, SocketWrench does not use Microsoft’s proprietary WinInet library to establish secure connections. It is not required that you redistribute the WinInet.dll with your software unless you make use of it elsewhere in your application. SocketWrench uses the Windows CryptoAPI and standard Windows Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI), which is modeled after the Generic Security Service (GSS-API) interface outlined in RFC 2078.
