or you may even have a program called GET (which is a perl script)

GET -o text url > file.txt

although it isn't good at tables... and tends to get a bit confused with
scripts... so may not be quite as good as the other methods... but it's
partner HEAD is very useful for testing what is being returned by
webservers... :)
