NAME

       http-get - simple http client and siod example program


SYNOPSIS

       http-get url [output-file] [:proxy=name] [:header=true] [:username=xx]
       [:password=xx] [:alarm=seconds] [:post=filename] [:cookie=value]
       [:redirect=true] [:check-status=false] [:host=true]


DESCRIPTION

       http-get is a simple http command-client which demonstrates the use of
       siod socket and regular expression capabilities.

   COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
       :proxy=XXXXX
               The XXXXX is the name of the proxy server followed by a colon
               and a port number.

       :header=XXXXX
               The XXXXX if equal to true causes the http headers to be output
               along with the content. If equal to only causes only the http
               header to be output.

       :username=XXXXX
               The XXXXXX is the plain text username to transmit using basic
               authentication.

       :password=XXXXX
               The XXXXX is the plaintext password.

       :post=filename
               The filename contains lines of the form keyword=value. Both the
               keywords and values are url encoded, and the result is
               transmitted to the web server as a POST of application/x-www-
               form-urlencoded content.

       :cookie=value
               A cookie header is included with the request. If the value is
               true then then the  set-cookie headers are used to obtain the
               cookie value, although the entire cookie spec is not
               implemented. Otherwise value is used as the value of the cookie
               header.

       :redirect=value
               If value is true (default) then redirections are handled by a
               recursive call to http-get.

       :check-status=false
               If value is true then before storing then an error exit status
               is returned if the http response status is not of the form 2xx,
               in which case no content data is stored in the output file.

       :host=value
               If value is true (default) then an http 1.1 style "Host:"
               header is sent.  If false then none is sent. Otherwise the
               value specified is used as the host header.
