Given an url to a website, how can i retrieve the meta tags from that website (description, ...) ?

headers!
Unfortunately, it involves reading out the header information of the page residing under that particular url. I've recently done some of that and found one particular tool to be absolutely essential: a Firefox add-on name HttpFox. It's not particularly user-friendly but it will show you everything contained in a particular header. You can then use javascript (read up on JSON) or php to parse the information as is needed.
