It helps to get the error messages instead of error codes.  From
        http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q150/5/37.asp
I get 
        WSANOTINITIALISED      10093   Winsock not initialized. This message is
                                     returned by any function except
                                     WSAStartup(), indicating that a
                                     successful WSAStartup() has not yet been
                                     performed.

This means that libwww doesn't initialize winsock?

Hmm... according to this
        http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-lib/1996OctDec/0087.html
it should be called if I call HTEventInit().

My test program didn't call HTEventInit().  When it did, HTTP started
working.
