Using Matlab to enter a web page and download a file

Using Matlab, I am trying to download a file from a website for which you must first log in. The file I'm trying to download is here (http://www.standardandpoors.com/prot/spf/docs/indices/SPUSA- 500-USDUF - p-USA-L - Constituents.xls)

I assume that this includes cookies and hack java code in urlwrite function. Has anyone done this or does anyone have ideas on how I get started? Is there a standard way to log in and receive a cookie and then pass a cookie with future requests?

I would think that this is a system, not a tool. I agree with Alex - Pearl to download, maybe Pentaho / Kettle, to parse / process. Especially if you are going to do more of this.
