OK, I still need to write the documentation (yes, I know I'm horrible).

But I just committed the changes to support ExternalTransport 
scripts, essentially the code I posted earlier, but this time I've 
tested it and changed the syntax somewhat. Rather than messing with 
the contents any, there's a header section, followed by a blank line, 
followed by the content--this roughly matches Gilles suggestions, as 
well as HTTP. ;-)

How much has it been tested? I wanted to try it on HTTPS, but I still 
need to compile an HTTPS-enabled version of curl. If someone knows of 
another similar program, I'll try that. My ultimate aim is that I'll 
use the Perl LWP for a handler that can do HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP.

I didn't write the documentation because I wanted to allow people to 
suggest changed syntax, etc.

BTW, in the process, I discovered a gross inefficiency in the current 
ExternalParser/ExternalTransport code. Each time one of these is 
used, the Document class kills off the previous incarnation, then 
makes a new one. It would probably be a lot cleaner if the class just 
picked the appropriate command line in either Parse() or Retrieve(). 
Seem reasonable?
