So, I want to use http to save www.someplace.com/getme.txt to /root/getme.txt on our local machine. You probably have a "fetch" command on your system, in which case the syntax might be something like fetch -o /root/getme.txt http://www.someplace.com/getme.txt
In the absence of a "fetch" command you could also try wget: wget http://www.someplace.com/getme.txt Specify a proxy using the environment variable http_proxy: http_proxy=http://my.proxy.server:3128 wget http://www.someplace.com/getme.txt or export http_proxy=http://my.proxy.server:3128 wget http://www.someplace.com/getme.txt HTH, Michael
