DESCRIPTIONhttp-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 trans‐
mitted 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 imple‐
mented. 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.
