PHTTPGET(8) System Manager's Manual PHTTPGET(8) NAME phttpget -- retrieve multiple files via pipelined HTTP SYNOPSIS phttpget server file ... DESCRIPTION The phttpget utility is a minimalist pipelined HTTP client, which is used to retrieve multiple files from one server, and saves the downloaded files in the current working directory, using the last portion of their download path as file names. By making several "in flight" HTTP requests, it can dramatically increase performance when a large number of small files need to be downloaded. The freebsd-update(8) tool uses phttpget to download binary patch files. ENVIRONMENT HTTP_PROXY URL of the proxy to use for HTTP requests. HTTP_PROXY_AUTH Authorization parameters for the HTTP proxy. HTTP_USER_AGENT The User-Agent string to use for HTTP requests. The de- fault is "phttpget/0.1". HTTP_TIMEOUT Timeout for HTTP request in seconds. SEE ALSO fetch(1), freebsd-update(8) AUTHORS The phttpget utility was written by Colin Percival <cperciva@FreeBSD.org> initially for use with portsnap(8) (now removed) and has been used by freebsd-update(8).
