#4 JFM -

In that case at least they are being standards compliant.

#5 CrazyFool. I am a software, TCP/IP guy. I knew about RFC1149. That is why I thought about web surfing over Carrier Pigeons: you write an URL on a paper, attach it on a pigeon and then you send the pigeon to the ~~Secret Police~~ Post Office where a friendly ~~Policeman~~ Postman enters the URL on computer and either prints the answer and sends it to you or orders your arrest.
