Hi there! I recently discovered a cool file retriever for DOS called HTGET, written many years ago by Ken Yap. This program uses WatTCP, and requires only a working packet driver. Afetr some tests, it appears to work much better (at least for me) than DOS ports of cURL and WGET (these are crashing sometimes on my machine without apparent reason, and are way slower than HTGET). I am planning to use it as the default retriever for FDUPDATE.
The version I found is HTGET v1.05 (http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/net/htget.exe). Unfortunately, I do not found the source code. Why would I like to have sources? Well, HTGET is a HTTP/1.0 client which doesn't work properly when asking a virtual-hosted server. There's no much to do to correct just, it would just have to send a "Host:" header along with the request (yes, this works fine on HTTP/1.0). I asked the program's author about that, and he told me that the latest version he released is HTGET v1.02 (I got the source code from him as well). So here we are: Do you know who is behind HTGET v1.05? Where could I find source code to it? If I had the source code for the latest version, I could try fixing the virtual host issue....
