AutoScan method (external)
| 7 |
Attempts to find a Web site based on the specified domain part.
The AutoScan method iterates through the patterns located under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\UrlTemplate in the system registry and creates URL addresses based on the patterns and the specified domain part (the '%s' substrings in the patterns are replaced with the specified domain part).
The AutoScan method tries to connect to the created URL in each step and if it succeeds, then stops the iteration and loads the page into the window identified by the third parameter.
If no valid URL is found, it opens the page specified by the second parameter.
The following patterns are specified in the system registry by default:
- www.%s.com
- www.%s.org
- www.%s.net
- www.%s.edu
This method does not work in Internet Explorer from version 7 and raises an exception.
