You could use one of the language externals, like Python or Ruby. Then you'd also have access to google libraries etc.
Or perhaps.... you could do something with [netreceive]. If you set up port 80 to be forwarded to it or something like that. I'm not too familiar with network stuff, so I can't be of more help.
Or.... maybe.... you could use something that writes to a textfile, which you can then access with anyone of a number of textfile reader externals. The textfile would be like a data pipe or buffer or whatever they call it.
Just a few ideas.

For the first part (sending the request) I could simply use [netsend], but how do I get the response from the server back into pd? [netreceive] is not appropiate here.
I thought of using the [system] object calling wget, but than again, how do I get wget's output back into pd?
Ideas welcome! m@rc
