todd

Shove the output of a command down an HTTP connection.

Example: copy an entire folder over HTTP.

On the sending side:

> todd 1024 tar c some_folder

This starts a simple HTTP server on port 1024. Then, on the receiving side:

> curl remote.host:1024 | tar x

As soon as curl connects to the remote server, the remote server starts the command tar c some_folder and sends the output to curl.
