you can use urllib2 python module:

# TestGoogle.py
#
import urllib2
#
f = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.google.fr/images/nav_logo.png')
data = f.read()
f = file('nav_logo.png', 'w')
f.write(data)
f.close()

in your case, may be parameters are passed thru url to get a particular 
barcode image (http://myserver/myapplication/barcode?format=xxx&id=yyy 
etc. ...).
for authentication, if any, it needs a little more sophisticated coding.
