You create a subrequest to fire off the document request. mod_include uses
this technique to include one URL inside another URL. It fires off a
subrequest, which it then includes in the response.

mod_include doesn't care how that subrequest gets called, all it says is
"get me this URL", which in your case would be
https://some-server/some-doc.xml";.

The best way of getting to grips with this stuff is by looking at examples
in the httpd code itself. Look at how mod_include does it, as it already
does something very similar to what you are trying to do.
