Aiighhh! Fuck me with a piledriver and 16 feet of curare-tipped
wrought-iron fence *and no lubricants*!¹

Well, that's how I feel about HTTP/1.1's "Transfer-Encoding: chunked",
anyway. I think I've got it licked now, but I feel like burning Tim
Berners-Lee at the stake, using copies of RFC2068 for kindling...

Anyway, a very rough draft of libfetch (with support for "file" and
"http"² URLs, but not much else) can be found on the following page:

<URL:http://www.stud.ifi.uio.no/~dag-erli/?software>;

(alternatively, go to my FreeBSD.ORG home page, click on the daemon,
and select the roadsign that says "software")

¹ probably the single best quote in the entire New Hacker's Dictionary
² download only; I don't think upload is practical with this approach
