Looks like a good first step. Consider using machinery in
Distribution.Simple.Program.Db for searching for curl/wget in path or
in user-provided location.

I'd also use something like

data Transport = { getHttp :: URI -> FilePath -> IO (Int, String),
putHttp :: URI -> FilePath -> ...}

configureTransport :: ProgramDB -> IO Transport

instead of switching on TransportType in getHttp/uploadToUri.
