   If there isn't now, there will be code in kdelibs that directly uses 
kio_http (and soon kio_ldap).  If they aren't in kdelibs, then people will  
be required to install kdebase just to use apps linked to kdelibs in some 
cases.

BTW:  Is anyone working on kio_ldap?  I'm going to need some serious 
functionality from it for 3.0.  In particular it needs to  be ported to 
TCPSlaveBase too so that it can use TLS.
