Command Line http request

[William Oldfield]

Anyone...

I need to set up an automatic request for a series of text files
in a single directory that are delivered by a Web server.  There
is no "mget" in http like there is in ftp.

I would like to set up a small script that would automatically 
request each document in the directory through http.  My 
question is how do I communicate to a Web server from a
UNIX command line.  

Thanks.
