We are looking for an http client now as well. Our major issue revolves around the download times for tftp.
Can Volkmar Uhlig kindly provide the patches?
Our units automically update themselves inside of uboot giving us the most control over our firmware. The issue is that it takes 20 minutes via a DSL line in Africa to update our units. An http test showed that the same firmware downloads in 30 seconds. We have also added things like the blksize parameter to the uboot tftp client to get it down to 20 minutes, our original download times were ~50 minutes.
Jeff:
Can you look at the recent changes to the net/next tree/branch?
On a slow connection -- I saw things go from 15:28 download (tftpblocksize == 1468) to 1:47 (tftpblocksize == 16268) - more than a 8x difference.
Even if you look at the your stated time of 50min - that should drop it to a more reasonable ~6ish....
