----- Original Message ----- From: "Pavel Tsekov" <ptsekov AT syntrex DOT com> > What is the idea behind this class.. Do we actually need it ? :) AFAIK it's a wrapper for the MS internet helper library .dll. If the low level http support works properly it may not be needed. However AFAIK the low level code doesn't handle NTLM authentication to proxies, which may affect some folk. So for the next major update to setup.exe IMO it should stay in, but if ned be it could be temporarily disabled in HEAD to allow incremental converison to io_streams. Rob
