I have seen this done before in a download manager but searched and couldn't get how it is done.
How can I detect a browser is about to start downloading, get the URL from it and stop it from continuing? In Win32 C++ please.

Hi,

well I would recomend to use WinPCap library. It is a networking library that will help you sniff the network traffic. You will register to OS, so that you will receive notification about every incoming/outgoing packet and its conent. Then you will just filter out those packet that you want and examin its content.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
J.K.
