[syslinux] Naive newbie question: HTTP

Hi,
Sorry if this is a crushingly dumb question... but would
it be possible for pxelinux.0 to download it's kernel and
initrd images via HTTP ?

It strikes me that it would make this an amazingly flexible
tool, especially if it passed on information about the
requesting machine via HTTP Headers.

Anyway, just a thought... I have now donned my flame
retardant trowsers...

Oh... and don't get me wrong, I think pxelinux is pretty
fantastic as it is... just curious as to future possibilities.

Cheers,

Doug Scoular
