Is there any way to capture a url entered by the user, send it through the httpx dll, ?

the ip address of the machine is confirgured by a DHCPserver, also the gateway address may change !

I have to create a program that monitors all urls, opened by a user (including different windows), and if a url is sent that matchs a list they are redirected !

Hi Nathan,
I just emailed you back about this but I think the dll may or may not work in all cases. It really depends on the version of IE you have installed on the machine, it seems some machines/versions of browsers send data differently to a proxy.

As I suggested in the email a BHO (browser helper object) would be your better option, simply because it requires no proxy and it interacts directly with the browser letting you filter urls and content within pages and/or removing content directly from pages and replacing it with any text or images of your choice. For instance if you went to sex.com you could have it remove any inappropriate pictures and display smily faces, and any inappropriate text you could replace it with ***** or anything you choose.

hi nathan,

i have written a program that does something partly similar to what you want...a monitoring program...the only way i found of obtaining the url was to use @window(,next) and @window(,child) and @wintext() together with winspy to work out how to get to the section that contains the url...confused?

If U want to that way DDE may be better I think to get URLs. Dr Dread had posted an example I think. I don't know if redirection would be easy without a BHO. You may consider running the app under admin account as a NT service so that user cannot shut it down.
