[Kea-users] Boot-file from HTTP server

[Darren Ankney]

Hi Philippe,

what protocol the client uses to obtain the boot file is up to the
client. Perhaps with some specific options specified in a specific way
by the server, but still up to the client (i.e., the manufacturer of
the client will need to give the specifics of how to use http verses
tftp with their particular client which should include details about
what the DHCP server needs to provide).

Thank you,
Darren Ankney
