(apologies for accidentally my first reply to just your personal
address)
I tried LWP but I don't think the full package is installed -- just a
portion of it to allow ldap access -- last time I actually tried was
an older unattended release. I didn't actually try in the most recent
release.
But somehow I missed noticing that wget was installed. That should
work fine, thanks much!

I'm not a Perl expert, but I remember LWP was the de facto standard
for making HTTP request from within it.
Alternatively, you may call wget or curl with proper arguments.
As for the "eeewww" factor, it's a matter of taste. I'm personally
using MySQL to serve configurations based on the client's MAC
address and it works like a charm (obviously, the deployed client
uses read-only credentials to connect to the DBMS).

Is there anyway to generate http requests from the linuxboot
environment? I'd really like to pull my unattended configuration
information off a web server ... This seems like the most modern way
to do this rather than via ldap/direct sql connections

I'd rather not have to rebuild the tftpboot client image -- doing so
is not very straightforward and I would rather rely on the
officially
distributed images ... I guess this would be a feature request if
this ability is not already tucked away somewhere in one of the
prebuilt perl libraries or somewhere else in the environment ...
Thanks,
