I've been told this is an artefact of schannel/wininet layering, that there's
no way for schannel to communicate the necessary info to wininet, so it
responds with a RST.  There are other situations where it does this as well,
not just protocol-version issues.  There's apparently no easy way to fix this
without considerable re-architecting.
