    You have 4 options (that I'm aware of at the time of writing) to make an HTTP request with Nim from Windows:

    - Use Nim's builtin httpclient library (which has it's own HTTP implementation and uses raw sockets)
        - Warning: httpclient module currently doesn't perform cert validation, see https://nim-lang.org/docs/httpclient.html#sslslashtls-support

    - Use the WinHttp Com Object (through Winim) apperently that's a thing. Either didn't know about it or forgot about it.

    - Use Winim's wininet or winhttp modules which call their respective Windows API's

    - Use the IE Com Object (through Winim)
    
    The first two of those are by far the easiest.
