Re: [xsl] Web-sevices in xslt

[António Mota <amsmota@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, but the problem is that i wanted to do that from a browser, no
extension function available.

So i think it's just not possible, but i wonder how a originally web
oriented technology like XSL has no way to call web-services...

I'm still looking a REST, but for now i just do it with Javascript...

Thanks.

If you need to POST data and get a document back, then you will want
an extension function along the lines of:

my-extension:post-and-get ($uri as xs:string?, $post-data as
document-node()?) as document-node()?
