+=item Win32::HttpGetFile(URL, FILENAME [, IGNORE_CERT_ERRORS])
+
+Uses the WinHttp library to download the file specified by the URL
+parameter to the local file specified by FILENAME. The optional third
+parameter, if true, indicates that certficate errors are to be ignored
+for https connections; please use with caution in a safe environment,
+such as when testing locally using a self-signed certificate.
+
+Only http and https protocols are supported.  Authentication is not
+supported.  The function is not available when building with gcc prior to
+4.8.0 because the WinHttp library is not available.
+
+In scalar context returns a boolean success or failure, and in list
+context also returns, in addition to the boolean status, a second
+value containing message text related to the status.
+
+If the call fails, C<Win32::GetLastError()> will return a numeric
+error code, which may be a system error, a WinHttp error, or a
+user-defined error composed of 1e9 plus the HTTP status code.
+
+Scalar context example:
+
+    print Win32::GetLastError()
+        unless Win32::HttpGetFile('http://example.com/somefile.tar.gz',
+                                  '.\file.tgz');
+
+List context example:
+
+    my ($ok, $msg) = Win32::HttpGetFile('http://example.com/somefile.tar.gz',
+                                        '.\file.tgz');
