Fetches data via HTTP from user-specified addresses, and returns the
beginning of the fetched data.
With this plugin, users can fetch the content of arbitrary HTTP URLs, with
freely chosen HTTP method (GET, HEAD, etc), getting back the beginning of
the content (as much as can fit on one line).
To return specific parts of predefined URLs instead of the beginning of
user-specified ones, take a look at the
html2irc plugin.
The URL fetching in this plugin is simple and straightforward enough that
it could be usable as an example for how to fetch documents with HTTP.
