<title>HTTP support for pxeboot</title>
<desc>
<p><strong>Technical contact</strong>: <a
href="mailto:rwatson@FreeBSD.org">Robert Watson</a></p>
<p>Implementing HTTP support for pxeboot would allow us to boot a machine using
PXE and pull down a kernel from a web server rather than NFS. This will
allow us to install from DHCPD + Apache or even just DHCPD + a remote web
server. As PXE does not provide an integrated TCP stack, at least a
minimal TCP implementation would need to be present in the FreeBSD PXE
loader.</p>
<p><strong>Requirements</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Good PXE knowledge.</li>
<li>Detailed knowledge of TCP/IP.</li>
</ul>
