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]  [:redi-
     rect=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 au-
	     thentication.

     :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. Other-
	     wise value is used as the value of the cookie header.

     :redirect=value
	     If value is true (default) then redirections are handled by  a  re-
	     cursive 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.
