Problems with the url package on w32?

[Mathias Dahl]

Today I tried to use an old hack of mine (gds.el, loop it up on
EmacsWiki) and got an error from `utl-http'. I suceeded in recreating
it directly with this:

(url-insert-file-contents
 "http://127.0.0.1/";)

When I eval the above I get this:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Could not create connection to 
127.0.0.1:80")
  signal(error ("Could not create connection to 127.0.0.1:80"))
  error("Could not create connection to %s:%d" "127.0.0.1" 80)
  url-http(["http" nil nil "127.0.0.1" 80 "/" nil nil t] (lambda (&rest 
--cl-rest--)
  url-retrieve-internal("http://127.0.0.1/"; (lambda (&rest --cl-rest--) 
  url-retrieve("http://127.0.0.1/"; (lambda (&rest --cl-rest--) ...
  url-retrieve-synchronously("http://127.0.0.1/";)
  url-insert-file-contents("http://127.0.0.1/";)
  ...

If I point a web browser to the same address it works, and it also
works under GNU/Linux.

I am using a CVS Emacs from Lennart's build, dated 2006-11-03.

Can anyone else reproduce this?
