I hope it will be in //www.wash.demon.co.uk/tw/bin/bignet.exe
late Friday eve if homepages server is back.

I like it.

It used to, but it got a bit screwed up with latest changes.

RE> 3. Optional use of proxies ('httpopt proxy www-cache.demon.co.uk' ?)

I'd like to do that, not sure if I know how yet.

Try 'http @scriptfilename'.  Commands in file have no leading 'http '
and start in col 1.

RE> Will the source be available? I'm thinking of having a look at Ka9Q soon

Same place in www.wash.demon, called httpcli.c.  Also minor
changes to a few other files, some name like diff.txt.

Delighted to hear it's proving useful, thanks for your
very helpful comments, Rod.
