I need to ping an external url, but do not want the customer to click a submit button or something similar. i.e. if a certain page is viewed, I want to ping an HTTP API on another server in the following format: "http://www.sp.com/api/@param=abc". Depending on the parameter sent to them, I either need to store the result returned or ignore it and carry on regardless.

Hmmm, try an external method something alogn the lines of: import urllib def ping(self): return urllib.urlopen('http://www.sp.com/api/@param=abc').read() ...lemme know if it works :-) cheers, Chris
