Is there an easy way to fetch a file using an HTTP URL with Progress ABL 10.1B without external dependencies? If so, what is the most elegant way of doing so?

I tried the documentation, but didn't seem to contain anything like that.

The link above doesn't work but it points to kbase solution # 20011 which can be found by clicking on this: http://progress.atgnow.com/esprogress/Group.jsp?bgroup=progress and then searching by solution#.Title: "Sample Code To Access a Web Site via HTTP with 4GL Sockets"

I couldn't link through, but you can use sockets for this. Take a look at the doc here.
