There are a couple of intersting functions in the KIO namespace for this
[1] KIO::get()
[2] KIO::http_post()

They create, setup and start a KIO::Job instance, more specifically a 
TransferJob, which will tell you by signals when it has or requires data.

So you just call the functions and then connect to the returned job's signals.

Cheers,
Kevin
