Using XML to retreive data from remote computer

Hi, i would like to create a program which logs information which can
then be retreived over the internet as an xml file.

Basically i would retrieve the data by using an ip address, and
hopefully some function call, using the machines ip address.

I guess the url would be something like:
mymachine.mydomain.com/temperature.xml

Is this possible, or have i got the wrong idea? Would i need to run a
minature http server or is this done for you with any of the .NET
objects?

Many thanks,

Chris

If I understand you correctly, this is the textbook example of what
WebServices are made to address. Are you familiar with them at all and
decided they aren't what you want? If not, I think they'd be the best place
to start.
