I've put up a simple URL loading library at 
(http://www.opend.org/urllib.zip).  It requires dig to be installed, 
although it doesn't use it, just digc.  Comes with the documentation. 
It has the functions:

urlopen: Open a URL as a stream (http, file, and ftp schema supported).
urlread: Open a URL and read its contents.
urllistdir: List a directory, return an array of URLStat (file and ftp 
schema supported).
urlencode, urldecode: Encode and decode the URL.  The above functions 
expect a decoded URL.

There's also a small, simple, not-thought-out sockets library.

Fun fact. I post a question about Remote object support and here is an URL
library coming :)
Didn't have time to test it but I like the simplicity of the interface so far.

Archive updated (http://www.opend.org/urllib.zip).  The socket library 
didn't handle incoming connections - it does now, and there's a sample 
program for doing this (built/run using "make clientServerTest").

Also added is support for DICT, the dictionary transfer protocol. 
There's a simple command-line client that can be invoked using "make 
dictlibTest".

Finally, NNTP support was added. 
urlread("nntp://news.digitalmars.com/D/<b4ktv0$vsv$1 digitaldaemon.com>") 
would, for example, get the original message in this thread.
