RSS
This style of distributing XML content is particularly common on news sites that distribute their headlines. Many use a standard format called RSS to do this. Example 2.4 is one example RSS file from Luke Tymowski's QubeQuorner on July 16, 2001. All you need to know is the URL where the constantly updated file is kept. All you need to send to the server is a request for this file.
