Sebastien,
This is probably pretty simple to do with a number of org-mode
supported languages. Since I know R best, I can recommend the
RCurl package (http://www.omegahat.org/RCurl/) for doing exactly
as you describe.
I'll look into an R implementation of this when I get some
time over break in the next couple weeks.
There are doubtless other solutions!
