Downloading file from internet automatically

Hi,

-----

Let me present a scenario.  In the attachment given you can see a site which is of NSEINDIA.COM.  Below there is an option called Listings today which has been marked in blue.  Presume that clicking on this link would provide us with an excel file that can be saved to our local PC. 

---

Using Forms, is it possible to open this site and automatically download the excel file?  There is a package called UTL_HTTP.REQUEST_PIECES in PL/SQL.  Can I use this package in a PL/SQL procedure and then use forms to call this procedure?  I want a proper code to successfully do this operation.  If anyone can provide me with a sample code I will be obliged.

Howdy, Stranger!
