Assignment 7:
    HTTP Client
        Write a simple HTTP 1.1 client program thingy
        It should comply with the spec (you can find it on your own)
        It should at least support the HEAD and GET methods
        It should take command line arguments including a URL and other
            options
        It should provide usage information when it is given invalid options, 
            a help option, or no arguments
        It must work on at least FreeBSD and Linux
        It must not use any HTTP or URL library thingy, unless you wrote it
        Other options should include what to do with a downloaded file (e.g.
            display it on standard out or put it in a file), whether to
            display info from the headers, and anything else you think of
