tar.gz but from the description on the Omni page, it may take some more

been implemented in a much nicer fashion if anyone who wrote it had any
aesthetic sense. (Unlike us, the artists and bohemian's of the IT

HTTP is very easy. Read the RFCs :-)
Basically, connect on port 80, and send something like:
GET /index.html HTTP/1.0
you will then get a header followed by the data.
