And why don't you use the http library of TCL?

because I'm used to make TCLs on demand for pple who have frequently a bad installation of tcl
So, I prefer use some tools I know they have

Maybe because the HTTP package does not work in non-blocking mode on earlier versions of eggdrop, egghttp is not as bloated as the http package with features one doesn't use anyway for simple webpage fetching, etc.. etc.. ?

Just a thought.

yes, I've DL egghttp.tcl, it's ok to get some simple pages, but sometimes I need some lynx' functionnalities (especially -dump -preparsed).
But it's true that for a lot of tcls, it's more secure to use socks.
won't forget that now

Some scripters (as myself) prefer using lynx than wget because lynx is always in linux distros.

nah, http.tcl and egghttp.tcl are to prefer imo. everything with exec (most ppl use it, only a few of them work with exec) are more vulnerable to timeouts and similar stuff.

stop using bold when it's not usefull.
Lynx is a text-based web browser, and some tcls use it to get web pages.
It's an alternative to wget.
