httplink

A very simple program for creating makeshift link-files to websites as small http files.

I noticed there's no good way to create website-links on Unix systems that you can easily open from the command-line. You could create a .desktop file, but firefox, for example, doesn't know what to do with them if you do firefox <website.desktop>, you have to open them from a GUI by clicking on it.
Using httplink, the resulting .http file can also be opened by clicking it from a GUI, like your file manager or desktop, but now running firefox website.http also works just as well, since firefox knows what to do with http files.

I don't know if this is useful for anybody else, possibly not, but for me it's useful and that's enough for me.
