Why not just reuse the existing HTTP code?

*cough*

   http://dillo-win32.sourceforge.net/patches/07-dfcntl.diff
   http://dillo-win32.sourceforge.net/patches/08-dsock.diff
   http://dillo-win32.sourceforge.net/patches/17-https.diff

Just add some warning dialogs and you've got everything the plugin offers,  
plus greater efficiency, code reuse, IPv6, etc.

(Not to mention, it's thoroughly tested and quite stable on Linux, BSD,  
that other OS with 99% market share, etc.  I use it myself every day.)

Anyway, all my code's still there if you're interested.

Cheers,
