You might be able to do something with urllib.urlretrieve (in an 
external method) and feed that back into Zope

*vaguely tested*
def doit(self, your_url):
	import urllib
	fn, h = urllib.urlretrieve(your_url)
	if h:
		fp = open(fn, "rb")
		data = fp.read()
	return data

You'll get junk like <HTML> and </HTML> in it, but it's a start...
