I'll say breakfast - from experience the function always works as expected
after I've had breakfast. Then again, I only switch on the computer after
breakfast ... or is it lunch?
If you use Outlook on a dial up connection to retrieve email, you will
notice this funny behaviour (feature in M$ speak) after you drop the dial up
connection.

It is (poorly) documented at msdn.microsoft.com. BTW, all Internet*
functions are exported by wininet.dll, so it is unlikely that you will find
anything in win32 / winsock32 .hlp files. Wininet.dll comes with IE4 / IE5.

Dennis.
