Bob between us and your shell scripts, Kate.  There are a couple of
things wrong with the above:

   * bizarre and certainly nonportable use of /dev/tcp
   * two redirections of standard input to "cat"
   * just, like, I mean, like.

Use wget or curl to retrieve http stuff from the CLUI, or if you want
to get down to the tcp level, "netcat" is a great little utility.

Gods.
