WinInet ASYNC mode sucks

Spent most of the day wrestling with this wretched API. What a complete waste of time. Tells me the request is complete, but wants me to wait an unknown amount of time before actually letting me retrieve the response. Ugh.

Forget it. I'll just shove the whole thing off onto a separate thread and let that sit and wait for as long as it needs.
