Congratulations John, you've done it again! A superb addition to ka9q.
Well done!
Could you put the large version on your website? I miss the telnet
client which I use for a quick perusal of my mailbox whilst news is
being downloaded.
Suggested enhancements for version 2 or later:
1. Implement some form of pager in the view option. 'httpopt pager
on' maybe? (or better 'httpopt pager nn' where nn is the number of
lines at which to pause).
2. A pause before closing the session to allow viewing of the last
screenfull.
3. Optional use of proxies ('httpopt proxy www-cache.demon.co.uk' ?)
4. Some form of scripting ('http src=filename' ?) to allow a whole load
of urls to be downloaded one after the other. Obviously the overwrite
would have to be automatic.
Will the source be available? I'm thinking of having a look at Ka9Q soon
and I wouldn't like to lose the http bit.
Well done again John.
