Therefore I mentioned it.
I'm not sure if you mean "download the URL itself" or "download the source file at the given URL"? All the clients of this facility I can see are in the former case, they make a request to find the correct URL (minus the trailing filename, I assume based on the documentation). That use doesn't solve our problem.
I don't see an example where getsite.sh is actually downloading the source. Such a facility would solve our problem, but I don't think getsite.sh is it? Though I'd rather have Pkgsrc do the heavy lifting here anyway :)
