Not entirely. What exactly are you trying to achieve ? If you are trying to do 
this as part of testing, take a look at Selenium ( http://seleniumhq.org/ ) or 
mechanize ( http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/mechanize/ ). If, otoh, you are 
trying to automate something using a browser (as opposed to doing it from the 
command line, for instance using twill - http://twill.idyll.org/ ) then I'd 
suggest using javascript or creating/hacking an existing download manager extension.

hth,
