As a result of this patch, everything sent to stdout is binary. This will
sometimes mean that the newlines of web pages will be a bit obscured for
windows users.

There already is an option that forces ftp and (quite ugly) ldap to use
ASCII. Should I extend that flag to enable a user to force the output to be
ascii (text, not binary) when using http on win32?

Any thouhts?
