#214 Make http::geturl not block for connect

[Dave Chapeskie]

http::geturl with the -command option claims to return
immediatly without blocking. However it does block for
connect. This patch removes this unwanted behaviour.

This patch also includes my patch in tracker item
559898 since the patches have some overlap. That
patch adds a -myaddr option that gets passed to the
socket command.
