InternetSetCookie from a windows service failing - error code 0

Hello All,

I am working on a windows service application. This service will refresh a cookie at the specified interval. I am using InternetSetCookie to do the job. This works fine in a console application but the same piece of code not working in a windows service. GetLastError returns 0. I have tried with different logon options for the service, but no positive result.

Please help me on this. Is there any alternative for InternetSetCookie?

Thank you.

The documentation for InternetSetCookie clearly states - "Note WinINet does not support server implementations. In addition, it should not be used from a service. For server implementations or services use Microsoft Windows HTTP Services (WinHTTP)."
