[issue45466] Simple curl/wget-like download functionality in urllib (like http offers server)

I fear that you underestimate both the complexity of this feature request and the amount of demand from users this feature is going to create. Once we start to offer a command line client for urllib, users **will** ask for more options, e.g. POST requests, custom headers, various TLS/SSL options and so on. There is a ton of hidden complexity in a download tool. curl has over 240 (!) command line options for a reason.
