Yes, it is wrong: you should post a comment to the author on this page, 
about this erroneous display.
I guess that Thibaut means that the module runs only macros, without 
gateways
demanding to recompile it for each plateform.
Unfortunately, plateform-dependency does not hold only about gateways.
Tcl/Tk unavailable on Mac OS is also a constaint.

Scilab 5.5.0 -- that you may already download -- proposes a new getURL() 
function
working also on Mac OS. For the moment, for HTTP, it is only possible to 
use the GET
method.
It is also possible to use curl from Scilab (or other external tool). It 
is packaged with
Scilab (at least in MSWindows releases), and can be adressed with 
unix_g() commands.
