Someone sent this type thing a while back but can't remember who. Create an external method and put this into it: def getPage(url): import urllib return urllib.urlopen(url).read() The just call it like: <dtml-var "getPage('http://www.yahoo.com/weather')"> Works like a champ for us!

Can't remember the exact URL, but a find on www.zope.org will tell you.
