Bug Description
With a new machine I see that network boot first tries to 'boot with HTTP over IPv4'. This appears to be the UEFI 2.5 HTTP Boot spec:
https:/
https:/
This appears to make no progress and then, after timeout, it reverts to trying PXE.

Hi Mark,
This is part of the work we have targeted for 2.6 already, however, for us to be able to fully support HTTP boot for UEFI, grub needs to support HTTP. This has been recently fixed but not being made available to bionic yet.
Once this support is SRU'd into Bionic, HTTP boot process would be fully supported.
