>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?

PMFJI, but doing what you want is easy. You really should read the article recommended to find out how. Rick has published a couple of tools that allow both XML transfer and binary DBF transfer.
