CLI command to copy file from webserver?

Can anyone recommend a bash command which will act like cp but copy files
from the web?

I'm thinking something like:
cp http://www.google.com/intl/en/images/logo.gif ./googleLogo.gif

Just a joy:

wget http://www.google.com/intl/en/images/logo.gif;mv logo.gif
googleLogo.gif

Perfect.

Reminds me of my *early* net days using vt100 terminal emulation and
dial-up to connect to an FTP site or even the web. If already on a server,
the command was "get <filename>".

What worthwhile thing are you doing !?

For interest, I'm using wget from within my crontab to manually fetch a jpg from
a webcam and store it locally. I'm then using kwebdesktop to render the jpg to the
desktop every 15 minutes.

I know kwebdesktop is supposed to do this for me but the webcam image
server is slow so I often get a blank screen. I'm assuming this is
because kwebdesktop gives up downloading the image and renders it to the
wallpaper too soon.

I hope my manual local cacheing of the image will solve the problem!

That's an interesting concept and means to correct a "problem". gkrellm2
has an add-on which will do the same - as I understand. The add-on is
called GKrellKam.

To follow up: This didn't solve my problem. The issues seems to be with
Konqueror's rendering engine, perhaps.
If I make a simple html file as follows and view it as a thumbnail
within konqueror then the image is not loaded:
<html>
<IMG STYLE="position:absolute; TOP:0px; LEFT:0px; WIDTH:1024px;
HEIGHT:768px" SRC="imageStoredBesideHtmlFile.jpg">
</html>

Perhaps I should flesh out the html file to include body tags and so
forth.
