Yes, I agree! Networking is an ability that is supported natively on
all modern OSes. Euphoria should have native support for networking!
(at least support tcp and udp and name lookup)

Basically, there should be no difference (anymore), when opening a file, whether
that file be on your local file system or on a remote server. To me, open() is
the logical place to access anything over http...
Euphoria has its moments, but this was definately not one of them...

Have you libcURL installed on your machines?
If so, download eulibcurl.e from
http://www.raymondsmith.com/euphoria/downloads/eulibcurl02.zip
Include eulibcurl.e in your program after changing the path to the library:
if platform() = WIN32 then
path/to/libcurl.dll
else
path/to/libcurl.so
end if
By including eulibcurl.e you can access a function called «curl_easy_get_file()»
that downloads any web page.
In the zip file there is also a demo: easy_download.exw.
