It would be good if ReceiveHTTPFile() could download the file to a memory area instead of to a file, and preferably with a progress callback as well.

Agreed, I was kinda hoping it had that so was a bit disappointed, but still happy to have a native downloader.

I'd also like to have the ability to set the client name as well.

And if possibly (on the Windows platform at least) have it fetch Windows proxy settings and use those.


If all these things (and Trond's) suggestions are added this would be perfect
for builtin program downloader/updater, etc.

I totally agree!!
Although at the moment, I don't need Windows settings and such...
