We (Robotics section of Debian Science team) are packaging 
ROS (Robot OS: http://www.ros.org/) for Debian. ROS uses   
many packages already in Debian, but also has a set of   
core/toolchain/build-system packages which are not yet 
uploaded. This package is part of that ROS system.

Most of the packaging work is already done, and available at
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/ros/

  Description     : Robot OS resource_retriever library

  This package is part of Robot OS (ROS). It retrieves data from
  url-format files such as http://, ftp://, package:// file://, etc.,
  and loads the data into memory.  The package:// url for ros packages
  is translated into a local file:// url.  The resource retriever was
  initially designed to load mesh files into memory, but it can be
  used for any type of data. The resource retriever is based on the
  the libcurl library.
