Description: Tail over HTTP(S).
        
        Use cases
        =========
        
        When access to log file(s) is shared via HTTP, or when only the
        last part of a large file should be retrieved without transfering it all.
        
        Look & feel
        ===========
        
        Mimics GNU tail_ (at least as of GNU coreutils 8.21).
        
        Differences:
        
        - There is no line notion, only bytes, therefor there is no `-n` nor
          `--max-unchanged-stats` options.
          Fetches 1024 bytes by default, instead of 10 lines.
        
        - Follow is obviously done by name, not by descriptor.
        
        - File accesses being more expensive than with typical tail, quadratic delay
          is available by specifying `--sleep-max-interval`.
