Have VBScript save a downloaded CSV file from a link

I have several shortcuts that link to an asp page which creates a CSV
file (based on the arguments that I provide to the ASP page).
Running these shortcuts and saving the files to my disk is now a
manual operation, which I would like to combine in a script, which
would execute each of the ASP pages, and save the resulting files.
However, I do not know how to tell my VBScript that it should press
the "Save this file to disk" button once the dialogue box pops up.
What would be the best technique to solve this problem (if possible at
all).

I am familiar with VBScript, object oriented programming, retrieving
html pages in a script by using Microsoft.XMLHTTP and adodb.stream.

Thanks in advance.

Trying to save anyting but cookie in the client-side will be an issue of
security. I think your script runs in the client-side and web.
