RSS isn't a transport layer.  It's a data format.  One commonly transported
over HTTP.  If all you want to do is move data from one machine to another
then using HTTP is perfectly reasonable.  Why bother formatting it as RSS if
it's not a newsfeed?  There's nothing 'magical' about RSS if it's not for
something like a newsfeed.
