I think that you'd have to get down to some *serious* sockets programming on
the 3000 to achieve this. You may want to look at ftp as an alternative to
the webserver.. just to get the XML data onto the web host.

I believe there are some prewritten COBOL/sockets routines around somewhere
but you'd need to understand the http protocol to effectively post data to a
webserver.

FWIW.. my 0.02 quid's worth.

Cheers.
