Subject: HTTP request with CouchDB

Is it possible to send an HTTP request and receive a result with CouchDB?

I would like to do something like this:


function(doc, req) {
    var http = new XMLHttpRequest();
    http.open( "GET", "http://www.w3schools.com/xml/note.xml", false );
    http.send( null );
    emit("xyz",http.responseText);
}
