Users should not be misled by the documentation into believing that the http fetch function will work when it doesn't. Perhaps the simplest way to make it work would be to exec fetch(1) when a URL is detected. --Brett Glass At 12:00 PM 2/9/2002, ashp@FreeBSD.org wrote: >Synopsis: ftp in 4.1-STABLE fails on http:// URLs > >State-Changed-From-To: feedback->closed >State-Changed-By: ashp >State-Changed-When: Sat Feb 9 10:59:43 PST 2002 >State-Changed-Why: >Risk being flamed and close this PR.
