[lug] http get from a command line

[Steve Pollock]

Looking for a utility that will do an HTTP GET from the command line, be able to deal with an http redirect and download a single file. 

I looked into lynx which will take a URL on the command line but it doesn't seem to want to start without html or text to parse.  That is, if you pass it a filename  ryryry.bin it doesn't recognize as html so it quits.

Any ideas?
