Thanks Kevin.

I wasn't able to get the full 14-09-2001 build working, but the copy of 
BinHTTPURLInputStream with that release got me started in the right direction. 
However, I have a concern...

A snippet of new code in the 14-09-2001 release of BinHTTPURLInputStream looks 
like the following:

    if (queryAsCharStar != 0)
    {		
	fBuffer[strlen(fBuffer)] = chQuestion;
        strcat(fBuffer, queryAsCharStar);
    }

Now, it's been a long time since I've done much with C++, but if I remember 
correctly, overwriting the terminating null character isn't usually a good 
idea. Why was the code written this way? On my build, the code just flat out 
doesn't work. None of the additional information (protocol, host, etc.) is 
written out to fBuffer after the terminating null is overwritten by the '?'. 

I rewrote my copy to look like the following and now everything is working fine:

    if (queryAsCharStar != 0)
    {		
        strcat(fBuffer, "?");
        strcat(fBuffer, queryAsCharStar);
    }
