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

[Chris Beaumont]

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?
