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.
