It sounds like what you want would be implemented using XMLRPC over http (or 
https).  You could have XMLRPC method that acted like a generator or you could 
have it return the entire list in a single transaction to the calling routine. 
To be more specific, you will need to go into more detail about what it is that 
you are trying to accomplish.
