I misspoke here (sorry Dave)... it's not libUrl that's at fault here, 
but the socket routines in the engine. There's a function named 
MCModeCanAccessDomain, but it always returns false and afaict never 
really comes into play: it's invoked three times in exec-network.cpp, 
but only if network access is not allowed.
