There is a tiny Apple example program CFNetworkHTTPDownload.
It uses:
CFHTTPMessageCreateRequest( kCFAllocatorDefault, CFSTR("GET"), urlRef, kCFHTTPVersion1_1 );
CFReadStreamCreateForHTTPRequest();
CFReadStreamScheduleWithRunLoop();
CFReadStreamOpen();

Here's the built app, compiled for Intel 10.5+
