I have inherited the following Python script:

```
import urllib2
a = urllib2.urlopen('http://mysite/mypage.aspx?action=dosomething')
a.read()
a.close()

```

and I would like to replace it with a powershell script.
I have googled a little but everything I find launches a browser window.

This script is going to be scheduled, so I'd like to just "post and forget" if possible?

Any help very gratefully received :)
