No it does not. Sorry for not testing this before:

(url-insert-file-contents
 "http://google.com";)

Gives:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Could not create connection to 
google.com:80")
  signal(error ("Could not create connection to google.com:80"))
  error("Could not create connection to %s:%d" "google.com" 80)
...

Wouldn't this break most packages that needs to make HTTP calls using
url.el on Windows? If yes, it seems like a quite serious problem.
