And does the wfs plugin work? My expectation is that connect (GetCapabilities) 
will fail.

Is this a limitation inherent to the Mac platform? If yes, I have to change 
the plugin and provider a bit.
The WFS plugin is linked to the WFS provider. This is because of the 
GetCapabilities request which is implemented as static method 
QgsWFSProvider::GetCapabilities.
I think i will just move the GetCapabilities method from the provider to the 
plugin. I would then also move QgsHttpTransaction to the qgis core library 
because it is used from wms provider, wfs provider and wfs plugin.
