I need to read the contents of 2 files on a remote webserver, for
example: http://www.domain.com/bo...

The first file is a plain-text file and the other is a binary file
(photo).

Text file:
I need to read the text and keep in memory

Binary file:
Basically I just need to move the contents to my own server and store
it in a new file.

Can anyone send me on the right track?

Take a look at http://www.rubynoob.com/articles/2006/8/21/how-to-download-files-with-a-r...
Notice "wb" in _open("fun.jpg", "wb")_, it is important, when you
download images on windows platforms otherwise it will open them in
ASCII mode.
