Umm, that sounds like a pretty esoteric use to me. I imagine there
would be hundreds of people who would use web and FTP clients in IDL,
but not the above proposal.
Since your desire is easily implemented otherwise, it seems less
compelling. Examples: curl or wget can download the file outside of
IDL -- or if RSI implements the HTTP client you could do the same
within IDL. Then it's a simple step to import it into IDL with
RESTORE.
If people ask for too many things, then RSI will just throw up their
hands and give up.

Dear Andrew
sometimes I wish to have the posibility to load a sav file over http
direct into the idl call.
Something like
idl
-vm= http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg-i/idl_icglib/idl_source/idl _html/dbase/download/x_digisym.sav
Did you have asked for this too ?

I did feel very foolish when I was coding my botched up FTP client. I'm
glad to see that Andrew's common sense prevails over my tendencies to
randomly hack together code.

Cheers to that one!
