Wendell,

If youbre using Saxon, you could write a simple class to do the HTTP request and return the results. Therebs a stack overflow thread on this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12761744/call-java-instance-methods-in-xslt

It might be easier to write a URIResolver and then do the access with the doc() function - and that will work with Saxon-HE as well.
