URL Monikers
Posted on 1998-06-03
Has anyone got a clue how to write an URL Moniker?
I am trying to use the Intenet Explorer to display HTML files that I pull out of a OLE2 structured storage file. Microsoft does s.th very similar in their Infoviewer 5 (comes with the MSDN): If you have the MSDN installed an type something like
mk:@ivt:activex/start.htm
IE will display the file start.htm from the knowledgebase file activex.ivt.
I already have found out that "ivt" in the above URL is registered in the registry and seems to be an URL Moniker. And from the MSDN I found out that I need to write an URL Moniker server.
Before I waste my time re-inventing the wheel: has somebody out there already written one?
Best regards,
Freter

Hm...
I have seen that before, but it doesn't help me.
I need a DLL that can be invoke by Intenet Explorer, just like the ivtmon.dll that is referenced by the string "ivt" in the URL depicted in my question.

Yep, did that one some time ago. It was a pain in the ass to get all the information, because it is only well documented how to *use* monikers, but not how to *write* them.
I built a sample moniker that simply displays HTML files from a file system or an error message if the file was not found. E.g. you set the moniker root to
c:\hello
and type in IE
mk:@slashmoniker:/my/baby.
it would load c:\hello\my\baby.html
Sure you could dispatch any path to anywhere.
You'll get the moniker code for 300 points, it took me about 5 weeks to figure all the details out.

Slash/d003303:
One question before I increase the points for you:
Is your moniker able to provide the embedded images of the html page out to explorer?

Yo,
all embedded objects (images, plug-in codbases, etc.) that have a relative path are combined to a full qualified path by IE before they are requested. E.g. if <IMG SRC="/images/help.gif"> is part of a page provided by my moniker, IE would create the full referenced path mk:@slashmoniker:/images/h
Because IE builds full referenced URLs compilant to RFC 2068, you can also prefix the moniker root like M$ does. The "mk:@slashmoniker:" identifies the protocol (equi to http:), then comes the "//(server)" part, then a directory/file path (you may omit the server part). So if the page location of the above example would be mk:@slashmoniker://MyDatab
This gives you flexibility on interpretation of the URL and organization of your database archive. E.g. you could also provide mk:@slashmoniker:MyServer/
You can do anything you like and easily run a website fromout a database.
Hope this answers your question.

OK, here the registry keys. Save them in a .reg file and double-click to merge them. I assumed the project's DLL resists in D:\Program Files, change the value accordingly.
The name of the moniker, slashmoniker in this case, can be changed by changing all
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SlashMon
and
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SlashMon
keys and the default values of
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{5
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{5

OK, here the registry keys. Save them in a .reg file and double-click to merge them. I assumed the project's DLL resists in D:\Program Files, change the value accordingly.
The name of the moniker, slashmoniker in this case, can be changed by changing all
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SlashMon
and
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SlashMon
keys and the default values of
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{5
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{5
and
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SlashMon
It's not that difficult.

Thanks a lot, Slash!
This is exactly what I have been looking for. It works perfectly for me.
I had only little time this morning to look through all of the code, so maybe I will have some questions regarding the source the next few days.

Hi Slash, still listening on this thread?
I've got some probs with the Moniker. When I use it with IE 4.0, everything is just fine, but when running in IE 3 (no matter which build #), it just reports an access violation in mshtml.dll after loading the 4th unique file.
I woul be *very* glad if you could spend a minute or two helping me with this bug!

Yo,
still listening. I just tried over and over, no problems.
So, do you still run the moniker in file-access mode or have you already bound it into the OLE structured storage ? If you are still working in a file system, could you send me an archive with these files ?
Also, take a look at the debug file and see where the moniker crashes. This is a very helpful information.

Hm.
I used the code you provided here. Then I put five different really plain HTML files in the root and called them via the moniker. The important thing is: the fifth unique file will cause a crash. If you try to load files that are not unique (like call only two files alternatingly), no crash will occur.
This problem arises as well with the code that reads from a file system as well as with my code that binds to OLE Structured Storage. And: it only occurs with IE3x, *not* with IE4x!
I don't have the code here today, but I can send it to you tomorrow, together with the debug.txt.
