Yep, get libsocket 0.7.4 beta 3 and you can run with Winsock 2. There are
some limitations, like TCP connections are always forcefully torn down,
but it mostly works. Good enough to write a program to yank web pages.
libsocket is here:

I hope to produce libsocket 0.7.4 beta 4, which should support DOS thanks
to Gisle Vanem's Watt-32 library. It's just a question of time ;)

HTH, bye,
