C++ 307 Errors when trying to include winhttp.h in visual studio 2010
I have a big big problem. I'm trying to use WinHttp to download file with C++ and I'm using Visual Studio 2010 in order to do this thing.
My problem is that the program is not compiling because are generated 307 errors, all refering to winhttp.h. I mention that I have included that file. What could be the problem? Thanks!

Now I have another problem. This is my code:
#include <windows.h>
#include <winhttp.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
DWORD dwSize = 0;
DWORD dwDownloaded = 0;
LPBYTE pszOutBuffer;
BOOL bResults = FALSE;
HINTERNET hSession = NULL, hConnect = NULL, hRequest = NULL;
// Use WinHttpOpen to obtain a session handle.
hSession = WinHttpOpen( L"Internet Explorer example",
WINHTTP_ACCESS_TYPE_DEFAULT_PROXY,
WINHTTP_NO_PROXY_NAME,
WINHTTP_NO_PROXY_BYPASS, 0 );
// Specify an HTTP server.
if( hSession )
hConnect = WinHttpConnect( hSession, L"www.my-new-gadget.com",
INTERNET_DEFAULT_HTTPS_PORT, 0 );
// Create an HTTP request handle.
if( hConnect )
hRequest = WinHttpOpenRequest( hConnect, L"GET", L"index.php",
NULL, WINHTTP_NO_REFERER,
NULL, NULL);
// Send a request.
if( hRequest )
bResults = WinHttpSendRequest( hRequest,
WINHTTP_NO_ADDITIONAL_HEADERS, 0,
WINHTTP_NO_REQUEST_DATA, 0,
0, 0 );
// End the request.
if( bResults )
bResults = WinHttpReceiveResponse( hRequest, NULL );
HANDLE hFile = CreateFile("D:\\index.php", GENERIC_READ|GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_READ, NULL, OPEN_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);
if (bResults)
{
do
{
// Check for available data.
dwSize = 0;
if (!WinHttpQueryDataAvailable( hRequest, &dwSize))
printf( "Error %u in WinHttpQueryDataAvailable.\n", GetLastError());
// Allocate space for the buffer.
pszOutBuffer = new byte[dwSize+1];
if (!pszOutBuffer)
{
printf("Out of memory\n");
dwSize=0;
}
else
{
// Read the Data.
ZeroMemory(pszOutBuffer, dwSize+1);
if (!WinHttpReadData( hRequest, (LPVOID)pszOutBuffer, dwSize, &dwDownloaded))
{
printf( "Error %u in WinHttpReadData.\n", GetLastError());
}
else
{
//printf("%s", pszOutBuffer);
DWORD wmWritten;
bool fr = WriteFile(hFile, pszOutBuffer, dwSize, &wmWritten, NULL);
int n = GetLastError();
}
// Free the memory allocated to the buffer.
delete [] pszOutBuffer;
}
} while (dwSize>0);
}
CloseHandle(hFile);
// Report any errors.
if (!bResults)
printf("Error %d has occurred.\n",GetLastError());
// Close any open handles.
if (hRequest) WinHttpCloseHandle(hRequest);
if (hConnect) WinHttpCloseHandle(hConnect);
if (hSession) WinHttpCloseHandle(hSession);
return 0;
}
And the output is:

What could now be the problem? I'm trying for 2 days to make a piece of program to download a file from a given URL. It's driving me crazy! Please help me!
Answer
Add #include <windows.h> before #include <winhttp.h>.
