Gio library on Debian Lenny

[Richard Shann <richard shann virgin net>]

Does anyone know if the gio library is working for getting files from
the internet in the latest Debian Lenny distribution, x86?
I have tried the following code:

  GError *err = NULL;
  GFile * file=g_file_new_for_uri
("http://www.rshann.plus.com/denemo.html";);
  GFileInputStream *stream =  g_file_read(file, NULL, &err);
  if (err != NULL)
    {
      g_warning ("The opening of uri gave %s", err->message);
      if(err) g_error_free (err);
      err = NULL;
    }
 
But get "Operation not supported message". It works ok with a local file (file:///home/...) should it be 
working for http?
