Give this a try.

This part is semi-pseudo code:
TCPSocketOpen ( netLibRefNum, &socket );
TCPSocketConnect ( netLibRefNum, socket, ipAddress, HS_SERVER_PORT );
UInt16 numBytesSent = 0;
Char * urlP = "GET /whatever\n\n"; // valid HTTP GET request
TCPSend ( netLibRefNum, socket, urlP, &numBytesSent);
Int16 numBytesReceived = 0;
numBytesReceived = TCPReceive ( netLibRefNum, socket, response );
TCPSocketClose ( netLibRefNum, socket );
This is real code.
/***********************************************************************
* FUNCTION: TCPSend

static Err TCPSend
(
UInt16 netLibRefNum,
NetSocketRef sock,
Char * data,
UInt16 * bytesSent
)
{
Int16 numBytesSent;
Int16 numBytesToSend = StrLen ( data );
Err err;
Int32 timeOut = NETLIB_SLOW_TIMEOUT * SysTicksPerSecond ();
*bytesSent = 0;
do {
numBytesSent = NetLibSend (
netLibRefNum, sock, data, ( UInt16 ) numBytesToSend, 0,
NULL, 0, timeOut, &err) ;
if ( numBytesSent > 0 )
{
numBytesToSend -= numBytesSent;
data += numBytesSent;
*bytesSent += ( UInt16 ) numBytesSent;
}
} while ( numBytesSent > 0 && numBytesToSend > 0 );
if ( numBytesSent == 0 )
// ERROR
else if ( numBytesSent < 0 )
// ERROR
return err;
}
/***********************************************************************

do

{

}
} while ( bytesReceived > 0 && bytesToReceive > 0 );
return totalBytesReceived;
}
