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.

http://extf.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Xameleon/Function/FileStream.cs

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/eveel_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

(replacing "Xameleon" with the short name of the assembly.)

Hope this helps!
