the fetching part is easy as we have LuaSocket:
········································································
\starttext
\startluacode
local bbc_rss = socket.http.request"http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml"
context["type"](bbc_rss)
\stopluacode
\stoptext \endinput
········································································
In your document, however, you will want to save the file locally
for a given Context session and reuse the local copy to avoid
re-fetching it on every pass. Maybe use the timestamp to force
a fresh fetch after some time.
Regards
Philipp
