download file from url

Hi Gurus,

I am new to PI and need your help. I need to get the file from a third party server using the url. The file is a csv file and the third party url looks like a java servlet call and the csv file comes as the response.I have gone through the forums and see that I can write java proxy to download the file. Also the url has the parameters which will be dynamic like passing the today' date. I am wondering if there is any standard way of getting the file downloaded in ftp location using PI.

Regards,

sriram.
