URL Access Scripting is in exactly the same place it was, with exactly the
same dictionary. If you used that in the past you can still use it.
If you want to avoid downloading the file to disk before reading into your
script (the only option with URL Access Scripting), then use 'curl' via do
shell script:
set pageSource to do shell script "curl \"http://www.apple.com/\"";
