Subject:TCP/IP access & autoupdate

Hi there!

I've been considering about autoupdate feature via Internet but there
is some questions without answers...

1) Is there any existing library providing support functions for
getting updates from Internet? So I could just check & download newer
versions without any knowledge about TCP/IP?

2) If I have to create my own updater, is it inefficient if I use
something like Open("tcp:mysite/portnum") -> Write(get versionlist.html
http 1.0") etc. instead of functions in the bsdsocket.library?
Socket.doc in the MiamiSDK looks too complex for a such small
project...

Uhm, any comments?
