I'm afraid that it probably means that the authors of the gnutls unit 
forgot to pay attention to differences between Unix and non-Unix (at 
least as far as the dynamic library extension is concerned). :-( 
Nevertheless, even if this is corrected, you'd obviously need to have 
the respective DLL installed in order to use it. If you have used 
TFPHTTPClient in the past, you probably have the OpenSSL libraries 
installed, thus you may want to add that one instead of gnutlssockets.
