OK, the `cheat' way to do it would involve using the shell... simply do
something like:
import System
import Directory
main = do system "lynx -source http://www.haskell.org > tempfile.html"
s <- getContents "tempfile.html"
(untested!)
(this assumes you have lynx installed on your system; wget is another
program with this functionality (and much more); or you could write a
short C program to do it).
In reality, you should generate a fresh random name for the file each
time to avoid conflicts, and you should clean up after yourself (use
`system "/bin/rm foo"') if Directory.removeFile doesn't work).
HTH.
