I'm tempted to get a hand on Ruby, for various reasons. Maybe I can
do it in Lisp... At first, I rejected the idea because it would
need AutoCAD, but, no, there might be some free LISP intepreter,
I should check.

In fact, it doesn't even need a http library, if I can shell to
Wget and read the downloaded file...
