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 :-)]
