Great!

I have its incomplete implementation since about 1,5 years, but your
version seems to be about as functional as mine. The reason I didn't
finish it is that I went the native way and wininet is quite not yet
ready for it (it doesn't handle InternetReadFile on async connection
correctly) and I didn't have the time to work on it. Also HttpProtocol
handles connection always asynchronously, it doesn't matter what flags
are passed (I mean at least ASYNC and PULLDATA flags), it's Binding
object's job to make connection sync for the client object.

Let me know if I can help somehow. I also have some tests how
URLMoniker/Binding objects handle http protocol (we're quite near to
make these tests pass for async connections).

Thanks,
