slow load URL

[Eric Chatonet]

Bonjour Nicolas,

Instead of setting by yourself a pending message you could take  
advantage of libURLSetStatusCallback: this will simplify your code.
Anyway, it should not change anything about speed... that is mainly  
related to your own speed connection and server's abilities ;-)
