Indeed, libcurl was one which came to mind. I've yet to play with it, but one thing I'm a little worried about is it being *too* extensive - I don't want setup.exe to grow very much.
Sure, that's a concern. However current setup.exe is only ~270kb when stripped, and even if that, say, doubled I don't see what the big deal would be. It seems to me that being anorexic about the .exe size at the cost of robust net/url code is a premature optimization.
Is it already compressed (ie. upx executable compressor)? It reduces size and works stand-alone with built-in decompressor.
