I've tried a lot without success. There's no documentation about (http) in exception for a little entry in this documentation ( https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Device-syntax.html) where is said about it but no details on how to mount or use this "device".
What I have also tried is: insmod net insmod http net_ls_addr (gives no results) and any of this commands gives no results (http server is never called, I'm sure about this) source (http,http://192.168.1.70:1273)/ source (http:http://192.168.1.70:1273)/ source (http,192.168.1.70,1273)/ source (http:192.168.1.70:1273:/) [...] Am I missing something? The lack of documentation doesn't help on this. Many thanks for your time.
