It looks like you are new on the net, http isn't the only protocol!
Besides, you don't need a complete browser to do something like a get command.
This made me curious, so I fired up Windows 7 via VirtualBox. No 'get'. FTP command didn't seem to have info on how to connect, so I just tried ftp ftp.mozilla.org. After some issues, I realized that this wasn't quite correct. 'releases.mozilla.org' seemed to work...well, apart from not being able to do anything.
