ND does not need to provide a way to communicate with external URLs,
because you can do this with vanilla java.
Check out the package java.net.
We have an ND app that accepts search parameters, opens a url to an
external website (not ours and not ND), pulls down the results, displays
them to the user, and then loads the ones that were checked off by the user
into a data base table.
