Thanks very much for the patch.

So... I'm in two minds about this.   Your patch seems good, but perhaps 
the problems with using wininet aren't insurmountable, and avoiding 
another dependency would also be good.

Anyhow, I had another go the wininet patch, attached.  I guess you have 
some use case for this, so perhaps you could give it a try and see if it 
works for you?
