I don't completely understand your problem, but I do believe that I have at least a partial solution for you. Lynx can be used to download files. All you have to do is specify the -dump flag, and it will dump whatever you load to stdout. For instance, you could do something like this: lynx -dump http://web.cps.msu.edu/~mille542/index.html > index.html.
