I'm not clear what you want Robin. It doesn't make sense that, just because you are sending the content to another program, you need to read the download through a filehandle. One you have downloaded the remote file to memory or to local file storage you can then open either of them and access them through a filehandle. Will that do? Tell us a little more and we may be able to help better.
