I have this file here that may be what you refer to:

GETURL.ZIP    127234 03-07-96  [    ] GetURL 1.0 for retrieving URL-specified
                               files from the Internet. Supports HTTP, FTP,
                               NNTP, GOPHER, and Local File Transfers.

Or maybe this would be of some help:

URLGET09.ZIP    5675 04-02-97  [    ] A Rexx script that scans text files for
                               URLs, creating URL objects in a folder on your
                               desktop.
