Oh, and if you want to play with it, make sure that you use your
server's IP address rather than its DNS name in the URL. I haven't felt
sufficiently crazy, yet, to attempt implementing a resolver library in
Etherboot.
The client does understand passing port numbers in the URL, and it has
very limited support for HTTP redirects -- as long as you redirect to
the same machine, you are OK.
