Wget Binary For Mac

How can I do an HTTP GET from a Un.x shell script on a stock OS X system? (installing third-party software is not an option, for this has to run on a lot of different systems which I don't have control on). For example if I start the Mercurial server locally doing a hg serve. $ hg serve And then, from a Linux that has the wget command I do a wget. $ wget -2010-12-31 22:18:25- Connecting to 127.0.0.1:8000. HTTP request sent, awaiting response.

200 Script output follows Length: unspecified text/html Saving to: `index.html And on the terminal in which I launched the 'hg serve' command, I can indeed see that an HTTP GET made its way: 127.0.0.1 -30/Dec/2010 22:18:17 'GET / HTTP/1.0' 200 - So on Linux one way to do an HTTP GET from a shell script is to use wget (if that command is installed of course). What other ways are there to do the equivalent of a wget?

I'm looking, in particular, for something that would work on stock OS X installs.
