Also because the data has to be delivered to the sim anyway. The  
script that's making the request runs in the sim, and making the  
client fetch the data would mean you'd be doubling the amount of data  
transfer and shoving part of it through the user's often-bottlenecked  
IP connection.

If you want to do something in the client, you need to call llLoadURL.
