Using WinHttp.dll HELP!

Dear People,

I am having a heck of a time trying to figure out
WinHttp.dll.It is apperently *MUCH* harder to use than
sockettools from catalyst. I can't afford socketools
though. I'm stuck at a very early stage of using
WinHttp.dll, the second call!

VARIABLE SESSION-HANDLE
VARIABLE CONNECTION-HANDLE

1 CONSTANT dwAccessType \
WINHTTP_ACCESS_TYPE_NO_PROXY = 1

0 CONSTANT pwszProxyName ( null )

0 CONSTANT pwszProxyBypass ( null )

0 CONSTANT dwFlags \ 0=synchronously

LIBRARY WinHTTP.dll

5 Import: WinHttpOpen ( pwszUserAgent
dwAccessType pwszProxyName pwszProxyBypass dwFlags
-- session-handle )
\ creates a session context

\ Z" Test Program" dwAccessType pwszProxyName
pwszProxyBypass dwFlags WinHttpOpen SESSION-HANDLE
!

4 Import: WinHttpConnect ( hSession
pswzServerName nServerPort dwReserved --
connection-handle )
\ creates a connection handle

\ SESSION-HANDLE @ Z" https://api.sandbox.ebay.com"
443 0 WinHttpConnect CONNECTION-HANDLE !

I can get a handle from WinHttpOpen, but I can't get
one from WinHttpConnect.It does not matter what I pass
to it, the result is always 0! Not only that, calling
GetLastError always returns a 0 as well.

Another question. Where do I get the .h file for this
dll? I found something on microsofts site that might
have it in there, but it's like a 3 hour download,
and takes up 1GB of HD space.

Windows® Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK

I found and downloaded WinHttp.dll from one of those
dll download sites.

Finally, perhaps you would recommend that I use
WinInet.dll, is it easier to use? I am totally stuck
and think that I'll try that route as well, and see
where I land.
