How do I get the content of a returned page?

numero = 209
interpreted = N
texte = Is there a simple way to get the results of a call to a web page or do I have to build the http request from scratch using tcpconnect? I just want to call, say, http://www.nytimes.com, and get the contents of the page returned. Seems like it should be simple. --russ
