PXE HTTP
At MeetBSD California 2010 (#meetbsdca), one of the break out sessions "finishing" and merging the mini-tcp stack and HTTP loader support in pxeboot gain enough interest. The idea would be to get this eventually into base.
The code as-is, does work with an old version os 6(?)-stable. However BTX and the loader changed enough since then, that some updating will be needed to get this into 8-stable and -head.

From the README:
pxe_http library is user space implementation of simplified
TCP/IP4 stack with support of sockets. Socket implementation is similar
to common sockets, but differs, so I call this variant of sockets -
"PXE sockets"
features (read: simpliest ever implementation of):
* supports TCP/UDP PXE sockets
* DHCP client
* DNS client
* http based filesystem
* ICMP echo
