If I had to do this, I think I would write a script outside a web page, 
in whatever language able to download files on the web (I'm sure Andrew 
will come up with something in Haskell ;-) ). Then of course this script 
could generate an HTML page as its output.

Or you could probably do such things in PHP, if you want to have it 
driven by a web page consultation.

But I'm no expert in these matters... Never done that before.
