Is it really necessary to write your own HTTP downloader? If so, is it necessary to forget basic stuff like the "Host:" header? ;-)
If you feel that it should be optimized for speed, then at least use persistent connections.

Can crash if the string is too short.

Can crash if the host doesn't exist or if you feed it with an URL containing port number.
