wininet.dll has changed their error handling in IE7 so it only checks for null pointers now. If you are an application developer using WinInet and you start getting crashes in these functions, take a look at the pointer values getting passed to these functions. You are going to have to check the parameters being passed are valid. A lot of FTP programs use wininet.
