hi

if your machine runs on linux, you can use unix("wget -O myfile.txt 
http://www.url.com")
and then open "myfile.txt"

(you may want to deletefile("myfile.txt") once you are done)

if you are using windows you can always install wget for windows 
(http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm) and use it the same way

on mac i guess you can natively use wget too.


hope this helps
