## Get-WebFile.ps1 (aka wget for PowerShell)
##############################################################################################################
## Downloads a file or page from the web
## History:
## v3.1 - Unwrap the filename when it has quotes around it
## v3 - rewritten completely using HttpWebRequest + HttpWebResponse to figure out the file name, if possible
## v2 - adds a ton of parsing to make the output pretty
## - added measuring the scripts involved in the command, (uses Tokenizer)
