How do I view a web-based file in emacs?

Say I've got two web based xml files that I would like to diff (test output vs. baseline). My current work-flow is to manually download the files to a temporary folder and load them into Emacs for diffing. I'm pretty sure there are better ways to do this but I'm stumped, especially as all the Emacs functions seem to open the URL in a browser,

Any solutions \ suggestions greatly appreciated.

I personally use (url-handler-mode 1) so you can visit a web page with C-x C-f http://foo/bar RET.

As that answer suggests, browse-url-emacs should do the trick.
