Good call. It worked, so I tried an older version of our house-built
cURL DLL (MSVC style) that does not have c-ares built in. In this case
everything worked fine with the network disabled.

Daniel, would it be possible to defer initialization of c-ares until
after the URL is shown not to be a file:/// type URI?

Thanks.
