There are a few alternatives:

1) use the XMLHTTP object

2) automate the InternetExplorer application

Alternative #1 is generally quicker and simpler, but #2 may offer you some
more flexibility. If you do a google groups search on XMLHTTP or
InternetExplorer, you'll find lots of info on how to do it.
