If you haven't already, please take a look at my Workflow Tutorial. In it, I show how to write a Java task. The example sends a notification.

Your requirement is to make an HTTP call. You were right to try to use the remote object that exists in the web script framework. That should work. But if it doesn't, you could use the example above to learn how to write a Java-based task, but instead of sending an email, you could leverage something like the Apache Commons HTTP Client to invoke a URL on another web site.
