------------------------------------
WinHTTP Reference (and comparfison to WinInet)
[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/winhttp/porting-wininet-applications-to-winhttp]
Since there are some subtle differences between WinHTTP and other APIs, e.g.
regarding the handling of system proxy settings (see linked MSDN doc above),
there are now *two HTTP client implementations* available:
* the old {{THTTPClient}}, which is now called {{TMsxmlHTTPClient}},
recommended for *interactive clients and desktop apps*
* a new WinHTTP based {{TWinHTTPClient}} which is the recommended choice for
*server applications* that need to connect other services via HTTP
> THTTPTransport relies on activeX component

> In the Delphi impl the client side THTTPTransport relies on an ActiveX
> component. There are certain scenarios where this can impose a problem due to
> restricted permissions under which the application runs, since creation of
> COM objects may be forbidden to the current user.
> Hence, this should be changed.
