Yes, it's really very simple. Just create a new Provider class that does the fetching (via LWP::UserAgent, or HTTP::GHTTP). All you need to do is subclass Apache::AxKit::Provider, and implement a few methods like key(), mtime(), init(), get_fh(), get_strref() and so on. Look at the Scalar or File providers for example code.
