Isn't it easier to implement it yourself. For instance with wxwidgets (that's what I usually use for platform independent app dev). It has html browser wrappers, ftp, etc. And I am sure many other similar libraries like Qt have similar wrappers. I am sure other people here can suggest alternatives from python etc, I am just a c++ guy..
