NAME
       httpfile - serve a single web file

SYNOPSIS
       httpfile	 [ -9d ] [ -c count ] [ -f file ] [ -m mtpt ] [ -s srvname ] [
       -x net ] url

DESCRIPTION
       Httpfile serves the web page specified by the URL url  as  a  new  file
       file  in the directory mtpt.  The default file is the last path element
       of the URL, and the default mtpt is the current directory.

       Httpfile does not download  large  files	 all  at  once.	  Instead,  it
       requests	 64-kilobyte  blocks  as  they	are  needed  to satisfy reads,
       caching a few blocks in memory at a time.

       The -D and -d options enable a trace of	the  9P	 traffic  and  general
       debugging messages.

       The  -s	option	causes httpfile to post the 9P service as /srv/srvname
       and disables the default mount.

       The  -x	option	specifies  an  alternate  network   directory	(e.g.,
       /net.alt).

       The  -c	option	sets  the  number of file blocks kept cached in memory
       (default 32).

EXAMPLE
       Mount an ISO image on a web server:

	      ip/httpfile http://www.9grid.de/plan9/plan9.iso
	      9660srv
	      mount /srv/9660 /n/iso plan9.iso
