I don't know how to implement similar functionality like monolith with
url-retrieve-synchronously + save-buffer. PATCH welcome.

Of course curl and wget is alternative options, just still same problem. Don't
know how to download web page as a single file and save it as archive file. If
use other ways, it's just another org-board. Then this patch will be unnecessary.

This is good solution, I will improve option description.
