I'm not aware of anything looking even like a simple http client even for Linux and I doubt someone created anything like it. The real question is why would you need such a feature. Handling it entirely in the kernel, while of course possible, likely has 0 benefits in your case. If you are not going to have a real root filesystem you can still fit a small http client on mdroot and use that. -- Mateusz Guzik <mjguzik gmail.com>
