Well, it so happens that I do have an 11/03, although I wasn't
thinking of running this little dog-and-pony show on the actual
hardware.  I was content with emulating a small SIMH configuration in
order to see just how small I could make it.

I also have a VT180, and an 11/83, but I haven't ever powered up
either of those.

That part I can handle on my own and I've already started looking at
it.  It's really not that difficult, but requires a few advanced TECO
"tricks" (ER with substituting the contents of a q-register in the
text of the filename argument).

GET requests are fairly trivial.  PUT is possible.  DELETE I'm not so
sure about, unless EG is supported in the target environment.  HEAD is
also a problem because there's no way of getting file attributes
(modified or created time) directly from TECO.  Again, you might be
able to hack something together if EG is supported.

POST to a TECO macro URL is possible.
