[Zope] Can Zope act as an XML capable http client?

Zopistas, The subject line says it.. I am trying to connect up to a legacy FileMaker system which can act as a web server, serving up generic HTTP content. I'd like to structure the templates so that this content is available on the web in XML format. Can I use Zope to connect to this DB and download the XML via regular HTTP, and then parse it? Id like to then be able to write it to *my* database using a ZSQL method.. Is this feasible? -Chris
