Actually, I don't care to open the file in Firefox, or any other
browser, and I don't care about files.
I just want to hit that URL in Squeak, and get the response into Squeak.
If you put the URL in Firefox, it is correct that Firefox thinks it is
downloading a file. But the file that it downloads is a text file that
contains the response.
I want to retrieve that response, via the URL, totally inside of Squeak,
without dealing with files. It's that simple.
Or so I would think.
