The WebKit CURL backend is probably not something we will want to use
long term because most of the other ports that previously used it no
longer do (such as the GTK port.) Plus it is already lacking in
various ways (which is why the other ports switched.) I think our best
option is try to use the Chromium network engine, which Maxime and I
have discussed in the past. The main issue before was lack of wchar_t
in Haiku, but thanks to Adrien and Oliver that is no longer a concern.

I may try to look at porting the Chromium network engine to Haiku
while Stephan continues to work in other areas of the WebKit port.
