Read data from a given url/domain name

[Arkie]

So i was browsing some of my old applications/demo classes and found this that i could share with you all. It reads a file from an URL and saves it in a file into your disk. Default file to read: http://engineeringserver.com/randomfile.txt

Output should be something like this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2009 09:17:12 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.11 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 PHP/5.2.8
