I don't think it's sensible for omniORB to grow HTTP and FTP client
capabilities. It's just unnecessary bloat. file:// makes more sense.
If someone wants to come up with a patch, I'll integrate it. If
someone does implement it, please use C file handling functions, not
C++ iostreams, since there must not be a dependency between the
omniORB libraries and iostreams.

Cheers,

Duncan.
