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	 down-
       loaded  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  in-
       crease  performance when	a large	number of small	files need to be down-
       loaded.

       The freebsd-update(8) and portsnap(8) tools use	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
			default	is "phttpget/0.1".

       HTTP_TIMEOUT	Timeout	for HTTP request in seconds.
