You have to be a bit careful here and it's not redistributable because 
there are different versiosn of WinHttp out there. Any of the following may 
be required on W2K/XP systems  ...Request.5 ...Request.5.1 or Request.5.1.1
you need to look at the exact version number when you create the reference.
