Re: [PATCH setup 11/11] Use wininet for fetching URLs in direct (non-proxy) case (DO NOT APPLY)


Hi,

 From the discussion in [1], I was somewhat surprised to learn that setup
doesn't support https or ftps.
For the same exact reason I've just recently patched in curl....

Problems with this patch:

No progress feedback as we download.  We just get handed the whole file by
wininet.
curl doesn't have this problem.

Although it swell a bit compare to the original installer, from 861kB to 3766kB.

/Ake
