Alternatively, you may call wget or curl with proper arguments.
As for the "eeewww" factor, it's a matter of taste. I'm personally using MySQL to serve configurations based on the client's MAC address and it works like a charm (obviously, the deployed client uses read-only credentials to connect to the DBMS).

Is there anyway to generate http requests from the linuxboot environment? I'd really like to pull my unattended configuration information off a web server ...
