## The web sucks.  It is a mighty dismal kludge built out of a thousand
## tiny dismal kludges all band-aided together, and now these bottom-line
## clueless pinheads who never heard of "TCP handshake" want to run
## *commerce* over the damn thing.  Ye godz.  Welcome to TV of the next
## century -- six million channels of worthless shit to choose from, and
## about as much security as today's cable industry!
##
## Having grown mightily tired of pain in the ass browsers, I decided
## to build the minimalist client.  It doesn't handle POST, just GETs, but
## the majority of cgi forms handlers apparently ignore the method anyway.
## A distinct advantage is that it *doesn't* pass on any other information
## to the server, like Referer: or info about your local machine such as
## Netscum tries to!
##
## Since the first version, this has become the *almost*-minimalist client,
## but it saves a lot of typing now.  And with netcat as its backend, it's
## totally the balls.  Don't have netcat?  Get it here in /src/hacks!
## _H* 950824, updated 951009 et seq.
##
## args: hostname [port].  You feed it the filename-parts of URLs.
## In the loop, HOST, PORT, and SAVE do the right things; a null line
## gets the previous spec again [useful for initial timeouts]; EOF to exit.
## Relative URLs behave like a "cd" to wherever the last slash appears, or
## just use the last component with the saved preceding "directory" part.
## "\" clears the "filename" part and asks for just the "directory", and
## ".." goes up one "directory" level while retaining the "filename" part.
## Play around; you'll get used to it.
