Hi, http(1) is a drop-in substitute for ftp(1)'s "AUTO-FETCHING FILES" mode. It defaults to HTTP method when the url doesn't specify the protocol and supports transferring files from HTTP(S) and FTP servers. The FTP support is limited to file transfer and doesn't do command interpretation. It works[0] with pkg_add(1) and related tools when set as FETCH_CMD. A SMALL variant could be built by disabling FTP and HTTPS support.

[0] Needs this small pkg_add(1) diff to get rid of the error messages when fetching for a FTP server... http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=143966672102753&w=2
