Assume that I am visiting a folder (directory) on my system by M-x dired
in Emacs. Also assume that I am visiting a webpage like http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/pdf/ by the default web browser of my system (say Mozilla Firefox). If I drag the link elisp.pdf
from this webpage and drop it on that dired buffer, the most natural things that one wishes to happen is to save the file elisp.pdf
in that folder.
What are the most natural way to achieve this in Emacs?
