[Zope] Including HTML from another server's file into a dtml method or document

[Andreas Jung]

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')">
