Ah, ok, the wording in 5.10 change log is a little ambiguous then...It 
seems to imply (to me at least) that http support was added to 
pxelinux.0 with an old TCP stack, but lpxelinux.0 has http with a new 
TCP stack.

This is the script I use to update the pxelinux files in /tftpboot....Am 
I missing anything?
#!/bin/bash

T=/tftpboot

cp bios/core/pxelinux.0 ${T}
cp bios/core/lpxelinux.0 ${T}
cp bios/com32/modules/linux.c32 ${T}
cp bios/com32/lib/libcom32.c32 ${T}
cp bios/com32/libutil/libutil.c32 ${T}
cp bios/com32/cmenu/libmenu/libmenu.c32 ${T}
cp bios/com32/gpllib/libgpl.c32 ${T}
cp bios/com32/elflink/ldlinux/ldlinux.c32 ${T}
cp bios/com32/hdt/hdt.c32 ${T}
cp bios/memdisk/memdisk ${T}
cp bios/com32/mboot/mboot.c32 ${T}
cp bios/com32/menu/vesamenu.c32 ${T}/pxelinux.cfg

If I boot to pxelinux.0 I get my menu.  If I change my boot-file to 
lpxelinux.0, I just get the boot: prompt after lpxelinux.0 loads. 
Network tracings shows lpxelinux.0 attempting to search for the menu 
files(via tftp), but something seems to be broken in that it's not 
picking one up.  I have both a default and a 01-mac-address file for 
this client, and it's loading neither one (pxelinux.0 is loading the 
01-mac-address one).

If I specify my menu file over HTTP with DHCP options 209 and 210, I get 
the menu.  And network tracing shows all the .c32 files and everything 
else coming over http at that point....
