My iDirectory http://www.inspiredlogic.com/idirectory/ depends on the
http protocol to gather its data. It is a shared directory utility
that uses a web server as its central data source.
The next version of C.D. Caterpillar is going to have an undocumented
ability to use http as well. C.D. Caterpillar uses many sound files,
and looks to find them on the local hard drive. If they aren't there,
it looks for the original cd-rom. If they aren't there, it goes to
our web server and gets them from there.
In addition, I've written numerous small utilities that take
advantage of http. One example was a bit I wrote to get the syllabic
breakdown of a list of words. It queries the www.m-w.com web site,
grabs the resulting web page, and pulls the appropriate text out of
the results. It's not a released product--just something I wrote
because I needed the information.
