Yep. You can do your network processing based on significant change events.

When you get woken up into the background state on significant change (from terminated or suspended state), you can make your http request. If you find your app is being terminated before you finish your HTTP request, you can ask for additional background processing time via the beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler: method on UIApplication.

I spent a fair bit of time on short train trips to test this out. :)
