Hello,

I saw this in the release notes for 4.00:

"PXELINUX: TFTP URL syntax (tftp://) supported even when not running
gPXE/gpxelinux"

I can't find any info describing this new functionality (searched wiki
and mailing list), I'm guessing you can now use tftp:// in the paths, e
g:

LABEL mylabel
  KERNEL tftp://servername/path/to/mykernel
  APPEND myoptions

Correct?

I've been using gpxelinux for the added HTTP support (5-6 times faster
load times than TFTP on our LAN), does the above mean that HTTP URL
support is (or will be) integrated into pxelinux.0? That would be
awesome, not having to use gPXE and DHCP options 209/210 to change
transfer protocol.

Cheers,
Daniel
