You can have a look at Wikipedia mode (https://gna.org/projects/wikipedia-el/).
It actually doesn't use binary files, but as far as I understand URL retrieves
things in binary (since I manage to use `decode-coding-string' with the
expected result.)  To finish file downloading, you just need to remove HTTP
headers and save the buffer in a file, I guess.

See customization.  Proxy can be configured there.
