http serving..

Hi all.

I'd like to use http to download executable scripts to a 'smart' SNMP agent
made with Scotty. To this end I have two questions:

1) Can I run a http server on the same host as the 'smart' SNMP agent and
use 'http put' from another host to download script files to the agent ?
If not then the method from the scotty examples will be fine, ie. SNMP
variables indicating URL and filename.

2) When I do use the 'http server' command to turn a host into a server
how do I then use a corresponding 'http get' to retrieve a file via
the server ? My understanding of URL's is a bit hazy, and I don't know
how to specify one when doing a 'http get'. It obviously involves more
than something like: http get http://ash.ece.ul.ie/anything.txt
or I would at least be able to connect to the server.

Could someone give me a clue ?

Thanks a million,
Garry Grimes
