http@ — gets a web page from a remote host.
http@ [host [page [port]]]
http@ uses tcpclient(1) to connect to TCP port port on host, sends an HTTP 1.0 request for page, and prints any data that it receives.
It uses delcr(1) to remove CR (\015).
Unprintable characters are output as-is.
The HTTP request is
GET /page HTTP 1.0
Host: host
If host is not supplied, http@ connects to the local host.
If page is not supplied, http@ requests /.
If port is not supplied, http@ uses port 80.
TCP port 80 is the well-known port for the HTTP service.
Some computers respond to HTTP requests on this port.
For example, they may be running tcpserver -R -H -l0 0 80 httpd /public/file/ using tcpserver(1) and httpd(1).
