Subject: WWW program to fetch document source?

Is there a simple WWW tool which will will take a UDI or URL (and which
is officially used these days by WWW?) and write the source of the
document to stdout?  Something like

	wwwFetch file://foo.bar.type/blah/blah/oink.ps >/tmp/a

I notice that ``www -n -source'' still does a bit of formatting, enough
to confuse Postscript and GIF files.
