c++ - WinInet HttpQuery Info returning Invalid Status Codes -

i working on program needs check existence of page before loads (so nothing exotic).

everything working ok, cannot httpqueryinfo return valid status code page. status code returned is: 1875378224

code producing problem:

dword headerbuffsize = sizeof(dword); dword statuscode; //check existance of page (for 404 error) if(!httpqueryinfo(hrequesthandle,                   http_query_status_code,                   &statuscode,                   &headerbuffsize,                   null))     return 4;  if(statuscode == http_status_not_found)     cout << "we got 404 error" << endl;  cout << "got status code: " << statuscode << endl; //1875378224 everywhere cout << "404 status code: " << http_status_not_found << endl; //what should getting 

i not sure make of it; have compared own code several examples online, , looks should work, although may have made stupid mistake.

thanks!

the information retrieved response header httpqueryinfo text string.

int statuscode; char responsetext[256]; // change wchar_t unicode dword responsetextsize = sizeof(responsetext);  //check existance of page (for 404 error) if(!httpqueryinfo(hrequesthandle,                   http_query_status_code,                   &responsetext,                   &responsetextsize,                   null))     return 4; statuscode = atoi(responsetext);
