Would you be opposed to adding iPXE to allow the file transfer to go over http(s) instead of tftp?

Not opposed, but...
iPXE doesn't work for everyone (myself included) due to the bootlooping issue iPXE has. And while there are workarounds, I opted for the "simplest" route since I don't care how long a node takes to reboot/rejoin.
I think there's probably a way to tackle this so it's an option for those who want to use iPXE. :) So I'm +1

Done and confirmed on my homelab!
Currently works off ghcr.io/jeefy/booty:main but will be in the next release once I finish the other idea I'm knocking out. :)
Was fun seeing a node boot in about thirty seconds instead of like ten minutes.
