The usual way to do this on *nix is to use command substitution:

meld <(wget -O-
http://git.gnome.org/browse/meld/plain/.gitignore?id=250066249e06241e3bfd3863c1a233fb45f40a12)
<(wget -O- http://git.gnome.org/browse/meld/plain/.gitignore)

Very few commands which work with text support URLs, in keeping with
the Unix "do one thing only, and do it well" mantra.
