Sure, several of them, at various levels...
ordered roughly from closer-to-user to closer-to-protocol:
  getfile
  HTLoadAbsolute
  ( maybe more HTLoad* - some may be coded in HTAccess.c but unused )
  HTLoadDocument
  HTLoad

They just all take more than a URL, they want URL-plus-some-more filled
into some structure(s).  That's more or less necessary since some stuff
(post_data, isHEAD) is effectively treated as an extension of the address
('url').
