OK, do you known an extension function that can do this ?

Was doing some work on something somewhat related so wrote a quick
extension function to handle this.  I'm not sure how well versed you are
with the .NET platform, so I am assuming that what follows will simply
make sense.  If it does not, then my apologies.

This will work with Saxon-N 8.9+.  You would need to compile the above
code into an assembly (you're welcome to access the same project I placed
this in and use that if you'd like, but the functionality goes well beyond
extension functions and as such is probably quite a bit more than what you
would want/need), make sure that assembly is signed, install that assembly
into the GAC, and then access the method using something similar to,

<xsl:variable name="file"
    select="file:SaveExternalFile('http://s3.amazonaws.com/m.david/xslt/evee
l_plan/XSLnT.png',
'/tmp/foo.png')"
    xmlns:file="clitype:Xameleon.Function.HttpFileStream?asm=Xameleon;ver=1.
0.0.0;sn=8974f7aaf62d3d0f"/>

inside of your transformation file, where the value of sn is the public
key that the assembly was signed with.  To gain access to that
information, as long as you have the assembly installed into the gac,

via MS.NET: gacutil /l Xameleon
via Mono: gacutil -l Xameleon
