NAME¶

UrlGetLocationA (SHLWAPI.@)

SYNOPSIS¶

LPCSTR UrlGetLocationA
(
LPCSTR pszUrl
)

DESCRIPTION¶

Get the location from a Url.

PARAMS¶

pszUrl [In] Url to get the location from.

RETURNS¶

A pointer to the start of the location in pszUrl, or NULL if there is no location.

NOTES¶

- MSDN erroneously states that "The location is the segment of the Url starting with a '?' or '#' character". Neither V4 nor V5 of shlwapi.dll stop at '?' and always return a NULL in this case. - MSDN also erroneously states that "If a file Url has a query string, the returned string is the query string". In all tested cases, if the Url starts with "fi" then a NULL is returned. V5 gives the following results:
Result Url
------ ---
NULL file://aa/b/cd#hohoh
#hohoh http://aa/b/cd#hohoh
NULL fi://aa/b/cd#hohoh
#hohoh ff://aa/b/cd#hohoh

IMPLEMENTATION¶

Declared in "shlwapi.h". Implemented in "dlls/shlwapi/url.c". Debug channel "shell".
