I am sending the revised patch set today. The patchset adds "http" command
which
works the same way as tftp. I am not sure how important it is, as this is
an improvement,
not a bug fix. When these are in, OvmfPkg/ArmVirtPkg will have this
feature in as well.
@Laszlo
Laszlo, can you please add your comment?

Thank you,
Vladimir
