I'm using an external method like this:

from ZPublisher import Client

def web_client(url, username =
None, password = None, **kw):
     '''access http servers'''
     class gen_res:
         __allow_access_to_unprotected_subobjects__=1
     f=gen_res()
     if kw:
         f.headers,f.body=apply(Client.call,(url,username,password),kw)
     else:
         f.headers,f.body=Client.call(url,username,password)
     return(f)


where you get an exception if status code cannot be handled
and have access to the returnvalues head (with headers)
and body (what comes back from server as content)
