Downloading stacks with HTTP is simple, described in the docs:

   put url tMyUrl into tMyVar

You could concievably upload them to a server using POST.

In my case, my interest is in custom protocols as a way of trading data
between two P2P apps.  But using POST you could send such stacks (and any
other binary or ASCII data) to an MC-based CGI.
