I was rather impressed by last year's mini web server. So much so that it inspired me to try my hand at writing the client side complement.

A typical build would be command would be:

$ gcc -omynx mynx.c

While some others like to be a little different:

$ gcc -omynx mynx.c -lnsl -lsocket 

I even managed to figure out a basic configure script, given last year's example, which is kinda of useful when you consider how many OSes put all the network functions in a variety of places. So a simpler build command sequence would be:

$ ./configure
$ make

After which, the rest of the documentation can be read by saying:

$ mynx manual.html
