Here I am replying to my own post. I must be half-way to loony!

Apparently the FTP protocol does support a "passive" technique which
may be easier to implement within IDL, but it still does require
implementing the protocol in IDL. Also I am told that my HTTP example
may have been too simple (at least it's a starting point).

I think there is hope that a future version of IDL may have an
implementation of these protocols, thus saving us the trouble.
