Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Rarely I need to boot a HP ILO server or a Dell iDRAC server with broken DNS,
where I can pick a URL to boot a ISO from, then I have to set up a server with direct IP access. Right now I have set up http://130.162.215.57/netboot.xyz.iso to be able to mount netboot.xyz on a HP ILO without DNS, but about a year ago I had to do the exact same thing.

Describe the solution you'd like

a netboot.xyz download server supporting direct ip access and http (non-https) listed on https://netboot.xyz/downloads/

Describe alternatives you've considered

setting up my own netboot.xyz download server with direct ip access: http://130.162.215.57/netboot.xyz.iso

http://185.223.30.65/dedicatedisos

Currently not looking at doing a single IP to host the binaries, it can lead to abuse. It is very easy however to set up a container on a server to host the latest binaries. I'd suggest doing that instead with an IP you own:

can you elaborate on that? what kind of abuse would a direct ip download allow, which won't work when the http host-header is present?
