And I tried a get of /pdpclib.jpg (a JPEG picture,
obviously), and I got raw binary data.

Which suggests to me that I should be supporting
(in PDPCLIB) a syntax of:

fopen("http://www.pdos.org/pdpclib.jpg", "rb");

As well as the non-specific fopen of "tcp:..."

and that PDPCLIB should internally do the "GET".

My application could automatically open microemacs
to display /index.htm, and when it is closed, could
present the user with a list of links available from
that site so that they can choose which one they
wish to look at. That list could be displayed in
microemacs too, and they just delete everything
except the link they want to go to.

ie a really crude, simple, easy to write, understandable
browser. And C90-compliant.

ANSI X3.64 support could be added later for a fullscreen
text experience.

BFN. Paul.
