No, but I don't think that would be hard to do.

But this raises the question, shouldn't we handle this natively?
Any protocol that means "fetch this file into the buffer
so I can manage it" is probably going to be accomplished
by invoking a curl command,
which means we could do the same thing through the curl library.
And we wouldn't be fetching the file into a temp file,
then into the buffer, then, most likely, saving it to a file on disk
where you really want it;
we would use all the existing machinery such as asking you if you want to
download it to disk directly, perhaps in the background.
scp: is very likely for downloading files, not casual browsing.
We already handle ftp sftp ftps tftp in this manner,
I would think I should just add scp to the list.
