Goal: Save pdf to local directory with scripting on OS 10.5.

Scenario:

When I visit:

http://www.domainname.com/directory/generatereportpdf.aspx?VIUEoYx7fvmJJgtoX2bOw2+bHMUSd9JTe39xjuWnj+lCqxiwPX6JWbEYIq%2fIKvi1etUQkfRAaMBKmokWcUfYRWYxL93jpHV%2fd+YgP+%2f20Br6RFQmqJ5Bb1

It generates a PDF report for me on which I can right click in Safari and save it to my Desktop. I used to have a process using SuperContainer where I would pass the URL to supercontainer and it would upload it. The provider of the pdf changed their site and now encrypt it as seen above and this process no longer works. The solution to my problem as I see it to have applescript save page as in Safari and save the PDF to a local directory and then have supercontainer retrieve the file from that location.

Current sticking point:

I have not found an applescript example of how to do this.

Thank you for your help
