I've had success with them.  I was downloading the Euforum text file and 
converting it into an rss file.  Here is the routine I used to get the file:

procedure on_timer( atom this, atom event_type, atom id, atom event )
	atom url, stream
	integer fn
	sequence path, current
	path = get_text_value( file_name )
	fn = open( path, "w" )
	if fn = -1 then
		-- error opening the file, should post an error message to the user
		return
	end if
	url = create( wxURL, "http://www.listfilter.com/mlist/current.txt" )
	stream = get_url_input( url )
	if stream then
		current = stream_read( stream )
		puts( fn, "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?>\n" )
		puts( fn, "<rss version=\"2.0\">\n" )
		puts( fn, "<channel>\n")
		puts( fn, "<title>EuForum</title>\n" )
		puts( fn, "<link>http://www.listfilter.com/EuForum</link>\n" )
puts( fn, "<description>EuForum RSS Feed - Official Euphoria Message
Board</description>\n" )
		
		to_rss( fn, current )
		
		puts( fn, "</channel>\n</rss>\n" )
		delete_instance( stream )
	else 
		puts(2, "Stream failed!\n")
	end if
	delete_instance( url )
	close(fn)
end procedure

The wxHTTP class doesn't work, but you can use wxURL and the socket classes.

I think the best way is to just keep trying.  Look at the code I've posted,
maybe at the code in the wxEuphoria files, and compare that to what you 
see in the wxWidgets docs.  As you go along, you'll probably start to 
pick up on things.  You can also ask me about things you run across.

My documentation is often a bit light.  If you can fill out the docs
in any place that gave you trouble, I'd appreciate it (and so would anyone
else who came after you).

Here is a modified version of what I posted earlier.  It will download the
file specified in the box and save it.  It just stores everything in one
sequence and a single write.  To break it up, take a look at stream_read(),
and you could put that into your own code, and dump the result to a file
as you go.

without warning
include wxEuphoria.e
include wxText.e
include wxButton.e
include wxNet.e

global constant
main = create( wxFrame, {0, -1, "Download Demo", 0, 0, 419, 200,
wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE }),
panel = create( wxPanel, main ),
file_label = create( wxStaticText, {panel, -1, "File name:", 13, 34, 116, 22 }),
file_name = create( wxTextCtrl, {panel, -1,
"http://www.rapideuphoria.com/index.html", 135, 34, 300,  23 }),
download_button = create( wxButton, {panel, -1, "Download Now", 13, 126, 96, 30
})


procedure on_click( atom this, atom event_type, atom id, atom event )
	atom wxurl, stream
	integer fn, ix
	sequence url, current, path
	url = get_text_value( file_name )
	path = reverse( url )
	ix = find( '/', path )
	if ix then
		path = reverse( path[1..ix-1] )
	
	else
		path = reverse( path )		
	end if
	
	wxurl = create( wxURL, url )
	stream = get_url_input( wxurl )
	if stream then
		fn = open( path, "w" )
		if fn = -1 then
			puts(2, "Could not open file!\n" )
		else
			current = stream_read( stream )
			puts( fn, current )
			delete_instance( stream )       			
			close(fn)
		end if
	else
		puts(2, "Stream failed!\n")
	end if
	delete_instance( wxurl )
	 
	
end procedure
set_event_handler( download_button, -1, wxEVT_COMMAND_BUTTON_CLICKED,
routine_id("on_click"))

wxMain( main )

There are two things that are auto-generated.  All the imports (define_c_var)
and the platform specific code gets commented or uncommented.  Most of
the code is pretty simple, and just wraps the calls, doing stuff like 
putting a sequence into a wxString, and so forth.  Some routines do a bit
more, and might help you understand how things work.

Oops.  I was testing on Linux and forgot to do that.  And yes, I was planning
on adding it...
