Write an external method takes the url as argument and use the urllib module to fetch the URL and returns its content. Something like that (untested) should work: def fetchurl(url): import urllib return urllib.urlopen(url).read() and inside DTML you can use <dtml-var "fetchurl('http://www.zope.org')"> Andreas ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tommy Johnson" <tommy@7x.com> To: "Zope List" <zope@zope.org> Sent: Mittwoch, 1.

Hey all,

Does anyone know how to include a file from another server into a dtml method or doc? The 'other' server can be the local file system, or (what I want) another server out there. I want to be able to grab the html from the file and display it in my dtml method.

Something similiar to ColdFusion's <CFHTTP> tag. Maybe a simple syntax or a product could do this? Send me all ideas you have. I'd appreciate it. I tried searching the EGroups Zope archive, but to no avail.

Thanks in advance,

Tommy
