The security preference part I have know idea, it's really strange that it is
needed at all. In r41128 there where no leak and the security fix wasn't
needed(I think). The change is that before(in r11428 and my patch) there was
one global "SoupSession" instead of creating one new for each startHttp() call.

I would guess that "handle->defaultSession()" which creates a new SoupSession
must be followed by a "free" of some kind. But I'm not familiar enough with the
code and code flow to know where that should be.
