you could write a browser plugin (eg. firefox extension) that feeds to
J the HTML from every site you visit.

you could use wget or curl or lynx to dump HTML to a file

you could use HTTP from J using system/classes/socket/jtelnet.ijs
all you have to do is send eg. "GET /index.html HTTP/1.1" to a server
and you'll get HTML back (after some headers)
