If you have IDL 6.4 or later, you can use the IDLnetURL object. See
this Tech Tip from the ITTVIS website:

If this is just for your system and not portable, and your system has
'wget' or 'curl' installed, I would use them and the SPAWN command,
and capture the output. Not sure what to do on Windows. This would be
easier than using SOCKET.
