Internet Config Reference

Framework	Carbon/Carbon.h
Declared in	InternetConfig.h

Overview

Internet Config, a Mac OS 8 and 9 API, supports centralized entry and management of Internet preferences for all of a user’s Internet applications. For example, email programs and Web browsers can obtain a user's name, email address, home page, incoming mail server, and similar preferences from one common place that is easily edited by the user via the Internet Config application.

Mac OS X applications should employ Launch Services and System Configuration for managing Internet preferences. In Mac OS X, Internet Config calls through to these newer APIs. Using them directly increases your application’s efficiency.

If you use Internet Config in Mac OS X, perhaps to maintain backward compatibility for your application with Mac OS 8 and 9, here are some ways to optimize performance.

Getting multiple preferences at once.
Your program may access several Internet Config preferences within a single operation. For example, an FTP program on startup might always get the kICFTPHost, kICFTPProxyHost, kICFTPProxyAccount, kICFTPProxyPassword, and kICFTPProxyUser preferences. Bracket such a sequence of ICGetPref calls with an ICBegin and ICEnd function pair for significantly faster performance.
Calling Internet Config less often.
Your application can cache Internet Config preference data and then watch for changes using one of the preference coherency strategies described in the developer’s online documentation:
http://www.quinn.echidna.id.au/Quinn/Config/Prog_Docs.html#PreferenceCoherency
Using preferences from underlying frameworks.
Starting with Mac OS X, Internet Config is no longer the final authority on Internet preferences. For example, Launch Services stores URL helper application settings, and System Configuration stores the various proxy settings. When called by an application, Internet Config must call through to the appropriate underlying framework. Call Launch Services and System Configuration directly to improve performance.

The Mac OS 8 and 9 implementation of Internet Config is in the public domain, and Carbon supports all of its commonly-used functions. Functions that are not compatible with preemptive threads are not supported, and Internet Config no longer supports multiple configuration files. This document contains information on replacement functions.

For more information on Internet Config see its developer’s web site:

Functions by Task

Starting and Stopping Internet Config

These functions let you create, configure, and destroy connections to Internet Config, denoted by the ICInstance type. Although it is usual to create one connection when your program starts and destroy it when it terminates, you can create an arbitrary number of connections at any time.

Getting Information About an Instance

Preparing to Read and Write Preferences

These routines are not always required because the commonly used reading and writing calls perform this operation automatically. However, even in that case, these routines are useful if you are making repeated calls because they allow those calls to work faster.

Reading and Writing Preferences

Enumerating All Preferences

You must call ICBegin before calling any of these routines.

Accessing the User Interface

We recommend that you do not provide a user interface for editing Internet Config preferences from within your application. In Mac OS X, simply provide a way for the user to open the Internet pane of System Preferences. The ICEditPreferences function provides support for this.

URL Functions

Mapping-Database High-Level Functions

Internet Config’s high-level functions are suitable for applications that want to easily look up a file type and creator based on an extension, or vice versa. These functions are significantly slower than their lower level counterparts, especially if you call them repeatedly.

Mapping-Database Mid-Level Functions

These functions are useful if you are doing multiple searches because they avoid the overhead of accessing the mappings database each time.

Mapping-Database Low-Level Functions

Internet Config’s low-level functions give you access to the primitive operations used to implement the other mapping functions.

Profile Functions

Deprecated functions

Unsupported Functions
