i thought there was an example in the manual, but i just looked and i see there
is not.  attached you can find a very simple plugin that uses curl to support
http, ftp, and file URLs.

just set FILETRANSFER_PLUGINS to point to that script.  let me know if you
have any trouble.

#!/bin/env perl

if ($ARGV[0] eq "-classad") {
	print "PluginType = \"FileTransfer\"\n";
	print "SupportedMethods = \"http,ftp,file\"\n";
	exit 0;
}

$cmd = "curl " . $ARGV[0] . " -o " . $ARGV[1];

system($cmd);
$retval = $?;

exit $retval;
