That's specified there
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms762278%28v=vs.85%29.aspx. Well they
don't say that it's done so straightforward, but something about transition
from wininet is said.

It can't be forwarded so easily I think, WinHttpRequest needs to support events
at least - to update internal ServerXmlHttp state (available through
HttpRequest methods).

Another thing is that ServerXmlHttp potentially needs integration with mshtml
to support relative urls - msxml3/tests contain such integration tests.

I don't know specifics but using urlmon to load data for XmlHttpRequest was
done on purpose, to support urlmon sessions (I just remember it sounds like
that, hopefully Jacek knows details). And I'm not sure how security things will
work in our case in we just forward this to winhttp, urlmon has a load of
registry configurations and supporting interfaces for that.
