Let's see... you could probably chop the first two sentences if you
don't care about the project background.
The etreed project <http://etreed.sf.net/> is an open-source HTTP
queue, designed to provide fair-queuing for sites serving large files
with limited bandwidth (such as http://etree.org/ member sites). The
etreed developers wanted to provide command-line client access to
etreed servers, but found that lynx didn't support some HTML features
that etreed relies on (framesets, HTTP-EQUIV, multiple downloads).
The etreed-client was written as a minimal command-line HTTP client:
it speaks just enough HTTP and HTML to be a useful etreed client. The
source code
<http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/etreed/etreed-client/>
may also be useful to novice POE developers, and could in theory be
expanded into a full-fledged web browser.
