See section 1.11.7, "Exchanging Material with the Web," 
http://documents.wolfram.com/mathematica/book/section-1.11.7
(Look at the bottom of the page.)

Now, if you want to get the web page itself to interpret it and extract 
whatever information you need, you can still use Import but set the file 
type to, say, "Text". For example,

page = Import["http://ocw.mit.edu/index.html";, "Text"]
