If the request for the file can be made as one URL string then you can 
use cURL for a SYSTEM command.

"curl is a command line tool for transferring data with URL syntax, 
supporting FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, SCP, SFTP, TFTP, TELNET, DICT, LDAP,

HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, HTTP form based upload, proxies, 
cookies, user+password authentication (Basic, Digest, NTLM, Negotiate,
