Good idea to use DDE shared makefiles and Oslib, it works well.
These are the tools I use, not simple at start-up, there are a few rules.
shared makefiles can do a lot to simplify our work.
I struggled a lot to find the informations, if I can help ...


An error in your makefile: !RunImage is the TARGET

   COMPONENT = !HTTPTest
   TARGET  = !RunImage
   OBJS = main
   CINCLUDES = -IC:,OSLibSupport:,OSLib:
   LIBS = OSLibSupport:o.OSLibSupport32 OSLib:o.OSLib32 o.HTTPLib

    include CApp

Yours Includes and library are correct.

If you want to build an application the best is to make a copy of the DDE 
MinApp example, you will have a complete structure in order to install 
your application and everything that does what is necessary in the 
resources directory.
You just need to rename "minapp" in sprites, messages and! Run content.

In your code you need to prefix the headers from oslib support like for 
oslib

#include "OSLibSupport:event.h"


Add a global variable
wimp_t  gTaskHandle;
and use it in  main_initialise(void):
 gTaskHandle = toolbox_initialise(flags,.....
This variable must be added to wimp_close_down()
  wimp_close_down(gTaskHandle);

Your test program can works....

Thanks for the GitHub link, I was able to recover your file. I do not 
know. Can files be uploaded with! Netsurf.

good test.
