If you have Perl available, you can do this via the LWP::UserAgent module.
Of course, that assumes that you have LWP::UserAgent installed which is part
of Bundle::LWP.  Suffice it to say, with perl and LWP::UserAgent in hand this
should be a fairly straight forward thing to implement.

'perldoc LWP::UserAgent' to get more info on this module...

Some info on installing the LWP::UserAgent module in case you need it.

If you need to install it, you can use CPAN with 'perl -MCPAN -e shell' and
then 'install Bundle::LWP', assuming you have CPAN installed.  If not, you
can get CPAN at http://www.cpan.org
