If you have IDL 6.4 or later, you can use the IDLnetURL object. See

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.
