Does anyone have some information /pointers?
If you /really/ need to work on System 7.x through Mac OS 10.1, your
only choice is the Open Transport API. Open Transport 1.1.1 (the
first truly usable version) can be installed back to 7.1, and the
same API is supported on Mac OS X.
If you do decide to use the OT API directly, you should probably
start with the OTSimpleDownloadHTTP sample.

However, I strongly recommend that you don't provide support back
that far. IMHO very few people running 7.1 are buying new software.
Also, the testing matrix for System 7.1 and above is huge, being the
product of an enormous number of Macs and an enormous number of
system releases.
A better idea might be to use URLAccess. This is available on 8.6
and above (an much more reasonable minimum system version) and
provides a very high-level API for accessing URLs.
