I agree.

I'd respectfully disagree.  Just like text isn't just ascii any more,
content isn't just on local filesystems.  HTTP has become pretty much
"basic".

If you use it. When my work involved a lot of internet related stuff I would have agreed. But with the work I do now my use of HTTP with perl is at 0%.

Everyone has a bias in their own thoughts of what the minimum is. "basic" should only be the common subset of them.
