Steve,

I agree with Adam's idea of using InvokeHTTP.

I created an example flow that I believe demonstrates what you are trying
to do. You can download the template here
(InvokeHttp_And_Route_Original_On_Status.xml):
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NIFI/Example+Dataflow+Templates

The example searches Google every 30 seconds for a query that was specified
in a FlowFile attribute (in this case q=nifi), and then routes the original
FlowFile to a HashContent processor whenever a 200 was received from
Google. The HashContent would be replaced with whatever you wanted to do.

Let us know if you have any questions.

-Bryan
