I'm not sure I agree with that. Using GVFS/GIO gives us code that
is completely protocol agnostic, it can be used with plain local
files, just as easily as with arbitrary URIs (whether HTPT, FTP,
SSH, or any other GVFS scheme). I'd not want to see libcurl used
unless there is some blocking technical limitation of GVFS that
can't be resolved.
