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 retr= ieves things in binary (since I manage to use `decode-coding-string' with the expected result.) To finish file downloading, you just need to remove HT= TP headers and save the buffer in a file, I guess. > Another question: What about proxy servers with the url elisp package? See customization. Proxy can be configured there. Paul
