WinHTTP, developed by Microsoft, is a low-level library that provides developers with a simple and consistent API for accessing resources over the internet. It is a lightweight and scalable library that supports HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols.

• Using WinHTTP, developers can build applications that can exchange data with web servers, upload or download files to/from FTP servers, and authenticate users via secure protocols.
• The library provides asynchronous operations to allow for efficient handling of network requests and responses.
• WinHTTP can be used with various programming languages including C++, C#, VB.NET, and others.
• It supports SSL/TLS encryption to provide secure communication over the internet and includes support for client certificates.
• WinHTTP also has built-in proxy support, allowing applications to use HTTP/HTTPS proxies for outbound internet connections.

WinHTTP is a robust library that allows developers to build fast and reliable internet-enabled applications on the Windows platform. Its ease of use and comprehensive features make it a valuable tool for any Windows developer.
