Hm, I have:
[~/inst/emacs/emacs-git/emacs/lisp/url] find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep
-i "defun url-retrieve"
./url.el:(defun url-retrieve (url callback &optional cbargs silent
inhibit-cookies)
./url.el:(defun url-retrieve-internal (url callback cbargs &optional silent
./url.el:(defun url-retrieve-synchronously (url &optional silent
inhibit-cookies)
Yet when I try M-x url-retrieve, there is no such funktion.

Please see below; I have gnus put version info into the signature for
the emacs.* groups. I compiled from the git repo from which I updated
only a couple days ago (and it still seems to be a repo I'm not supposed
to use).
I tried (require 'url) in ~/.emacs, and that doesn't make a difference.
I'll have to look into it more closely on the weekend ... I suppose it
should just be available.
The first mentioning of url-retrieve in git log is in commit
40c5a1bd1b125e9768aa223e80d0ae32e33a184b from Mon Apr 12 20:50:16 2004
+0000, authored by Stefan Monnier. So it has over 10 years of history.
