Download Binary (graphics/executables) over http without Inet Controls

Description

Download Binary (graphics/executables) over http without Inet Controls or Api's. This program uses xmlhttp to grab it and then writes it to a file. This is very helpful for an app that is distibuted on multiple platforms because the inet controls are so buggy when trying to install on user that don't have it.
