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.
