Seem to work fine for https and ftp now, I don't have the means to test 
ftps yet.

One thought though, why not let wininet take care of file:// URL's as 
well? Or actually don't try to parse the url string at all and just pass 
it down to NETIO_IE5 unfiltered? The advantage is setup would be able to 
handle what ever protocols wininet has. Also letting wininet taking care 
of file:// url's would let the user install from a local network 
resource (i.e file server). I'm been thinking of the case when someone 
wants to use a local directory repo would be slightly more complicated 
since relative paths does not work with file url's. One way to solve 
this particular case would be to check the first character for '.' and 
use that as an indicator to a local dir.
