Unity can be used for a second life clone?

Unity Engine
1

Stupid question maybe…my point is basically to find out if i can get and send http commands, like WEB DAV commands (GET, POST, HEAD) trough unity and retrieve data from a server, to display it in unity…

The example of second life: a server keep the list of the players and what items and visual specs they have, how much money and similar; and the engine reacts to the changes in these parameters interacting with the server when a player change hair color, style of clothes or buy a car.

Is this something that is possible to obtain using Unity?

I am reading the manual section related to networking, but i don’t get if i can dialogue with a remote server using http extension or DAV extensions and interpreting maybe the feed back (something like getting an rss with images from picasa and display them in unity).

Before starting i wonder if is possible…any suggestions?
Thanks!

Second friendshangout.com as a good example. For networking they are using the SmartFoxServer API BTW
