Can xml request go through firewall by using web service?

Hi,
I am doing a course project now for practive xml. I heard from somewhere
that xml request can go through firewall. currently in our school there is a
firewall which only can log on by vpn when user is outside firewall. I want
to create a web form which can save the data into the database which is
inside the firewall. Do you think xml request can do that? can i create a
asp.net web service then using xml request to save the data to the database
by using web service?
I really appreciate if you can give me some advice

Thanks

The transfer of data via a webservice would only be restricted by its
transport protocol, which is HTTP in your case of an asp.net application. If
your HTTP ports are open on your firewall (typically 80 or 8080) then you
should be fine.
