Very easily. Have a look at my article on the ``urllib2`` module. http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles.shtml#http You may need to use ClientCookie/cookielib to handle cookies and may have to cope with BASIC authentication. There are also articles about both of these as well. If you want to handle filling in forms programattically then the module ClientForm is useful (allegedly).
