I do pretty much the same thing to slurp some content from
another web app. server (which shall remain nameless) into Zope.
Here's the relevant bit (tested and working as an external method):

def pagesuck(site="http://www.foo.com", page="path/to/object"):

    remote = httplib.HTTP(site)
    remote.putrequest('GET', page)
    remote.putheader('Accept', 'text/html')
    remote.putheader('Accept', 'text/plain')
    remote.endheaders()
    errcode, errmsg, headers = remote.getreply()
    if errcode != 200:
        return "Could not open the page. Error %d: %s" % (errcode, errmsg)
    f = remote.getfile()
    data = f.read()
    f.close()
