Yup.  And I have been tweaking that a bit, offline, while working
on the NTRIPv2/HTTPv1.1/chunk thing.

Only reason is that it has not been asked for or worked on.  It is in the
same path as the chink stuff, so I have been thinkong how to do that
better, just not at the same time as the chinking.

Yup.  What happens when the gpsd:// starts OK, then loses the connection
also needs looking at.

When I finish beating on chinking, or rather it beating on me, that would
be good to look at.
