Lynx is placed under GNU GPL, so the sources are available almost
everywhere. Stripping away some (many) features, maybe...

A TCP-IP stack is needed. There's around a pretty old and good
implementation (with sources) called NOS, a BSD-based coded bundled
together into a single executable used in ham radio environments (ampr.org
and such). You might start there.
After you have your working TCP-IP stack, you can read HTML by calling
the server on the port 80 and performing a GET request. Yes, you need to
read the RFC about HTTP (_and_ DNS) to understand how it's done.
