not sure about your compile error, some headers are dependent on others, or 
there may be a situation where you have got some sort of circular reference.

I've never had to look at winhttp.h before but you can do exactly what you 
are trying to do using the wininet api's - these seem to be the prefered 
option now.  I have a working system using the wininet api's to connect to a 
url and download update information - it will be exactly the same for you i 
suppose.

If you want to examin this option and need any help, please feel free to 
post back and i'll send you some pointers.

Regards,

Mike
