  Erm, I hate to burst your bubble, but that's been implemented in
  fetch(1) since the beginning.  I think someone once *talked* about
  moving the HTTP functionality into libftpio, but it never happened.
  Also, if we did that, we'd have to rename the library since it would
  then be "libftp+httpio" [and around that point, "libnetio" starts
  sounding real good to me :-)]
 
Only if you promise to support h.2161 and IP over MPEG2.
