Hello oXygenistes, Over on XSL-List, Martin Honnen kindly pointed me to EXPath as a possible answer to my question regarding how to call http POST from inside XSLT (see below): he suggests the EXPath http client module. However, I find this isn't available in Saxon by default. Any ideas of how I can get this to work in oXygen? (or alternative strategies?) http://expath.org/modules/http-client/ http://expath.org/files Cheers, Wendell ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Martin Honnen martin.honnen@gmx.de <xsl-list-service@lists.mulberrytech.com> Date: Fri, Feb 2, 2018 at 1:06 PM Subject: Re: [xsl] Hints on http POST To: xsl-list@lists.mulberrytech.com On 02.02.2018 18:29, Wendell Piez wapiez@wendellpiez.com wrote:
I have a need to procure a little bit of XML from a web service running locally. To get it (once) from curl is easy:
curl -X POST -d "My string goes in here" localhost:8888/do/me
But I need to call it many many times, which I would naturally like to do from inside my transformation.
Does anyone have any neat hints of how to do this under unextended (or openly extended) XSLT 3.0?
I am not sure how exactly that HTTP POST that curl produces looks like but http://expath.org/modules/http-client/ allows HTTP POST requests. --~---------------------------------------------------------------- XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list EasyUnsubscribe: http://lists.mulberrytech.com/unsub/xsl-list/174322 or by email: xsl-list-unsub@lists.mulberrytech.com --~-- -- Wendell Piez | http://www.wendellpiez.com XML | XSLT | electronic publishing Eat Your Vegetables _____oo_________o_o___ooooo____ooooooo_^
