There's nothing Jackrabbit-specific about a GET request. There are
plenty of generic HTTP tools and libraries out there that you can use
to access resources over the web. If you're using Java, you can start
with the standard java.net.URL class and its openStream() method [1].
If you need more control, a good solution is the HttpClient library
from Apache HttpComponents [2].
