euTCP4u get_file errors

Hi All,

I have done a small amount of investigation and found the problems 
that people have been having associated with using http4u_get_file()
are to do with the base library only implementing HTTP 1.0 protocol.

It seems that most web servers now seem to be using HTTP 1.1.

I have contacted the author of Tcp4u and he said it would be unlikely
that he would update to the 1.1 protocol.

I had a quick look at the HTTP 1.1 protocol with thoughts of 
writing a Euphoria version of get_file using simple sockets but I 
don't see myself doing that in the near future either :(.

So ... sadly ... I'll remove the HTTP functions from euTCP4u.

Thanks,

P.S. I'd gladly accept contributions of Euphoria written HTTP functions 
:).
