I had an dbf2xml method (basically Ken Levy's prg with mods) in my server, so I can generate a data wrapper object or XML (this not tested yet), but -sorry to bother you with another question- it is not possible to return the data object (lets call it that way) with/over HTTP? after all it is binary data...or is text/XML more efficient? -good point on SOAP-.
Sorry if I'm babling, not too much WEB experience.
