Description
The InternetOptions property is the set of options used to specify some behaviors of auHTTP component.  
 
The property is set of following options:  
ValueMeaning  
ioIgnoreCertificateInvalidDisables checking of SSL/PCT-based certificates that are returned from the server against the host name given in the request. WinINet functions use a simple check against certificates by comparing for matching host names and simple wildcarding rules;  
ioIgnoreCertificateDateInvalidDisables checking of SSL/PCT-based certificates for proper validity dates;  
ioIgnoreUnknownCertificateAuthoritySpecifies whether the component should ignore unknown certificate authority problems, if the server's SSL certificate has been "signed", but by unknown or untrusted authority;  
ioIgnoreRedirectToHTTPDisables detection of this special type of redirect. When this flag is used, WinINet functions transparently allow redirects from HTTPS to HTTP URLs;  
ioIgnoreRedirectToHTTPSDisables detection of this special type of redirect. When this flag is used, WinINet functions transparently allow redirects from HTTP to HTTPS URLs;  
ioKeepConnectionUses keep-alive semantics, if available, for the connection. This flag is required for Microsoft Network (MSN), NT LAN Manager (NTLM), and other types of authentication;  
ioNoAuthenticationDoes not attempt authentication automatically;  
ioNoAutoRedirectDoes not automatically handle redirection;  
ioNoCookiesDoes not automatically add cookie headers to requests, and does not automatically add returned cookies to the cookie database.
