Downloading remote files via HTTP

Hi,
I was wondering if there exists functionality within Datastage to allow down/up loading files from an HTTP server.
FTP stage would let one to work with (Up/Down)Loading FTP servers. But if i were to do the same with an HTTP server, is that doable or should i get back to command lines or other scripts to get this task done?

Thanks,

There is no HTTP download/upload functionality in unadorned DataStage. With an HTML-enabling PACK you may have more luck but I'm unable to check that today. Search IBM web site.

Thanks for the response Ray. I could not find any useful hits on the IBM site. I will forward this to our support group to check with IBM Tech and update the group.

Thanks,
