Dear maintainer,

We're using grub to build the pxe network in the university campus.

Could you add http mod to the (signed) grubnetx64.efi, currently it
only has tftp mod.

HTTP is more convenient in network which has NAT, etc... and more
efficient.

Thanks

This would also help our setup. This change has already been made in Ubuntu.

Hi,

we provide Debian Live Netboot systems in our school.  To load kernel
and initrd, (and optional, the huge rootfs) we use the http module for
efficency and reliability.  Without http being included in the signed
grub, we need to disable secure boot on the machines.

So I would appreciate including the module too.

Thanks and best regards,

  Andi
