Re: [xsl] Calling Web Service Method from XSLT.

["bryan rasmussen" <rasmussen.bryan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Is that webservice uri a get or a post, the uri itself would suggest a
Get (get is even in the querystring after all) if it is a Get then if
the html returned by the service (and why would a service return
html?!?) is well formed then the document function should work, if it
is not well formed then you would still need to use an extension
function, call the html tidy com object
http://users.rcn.com/creitzel/tidy.html#comatl and then tidy the html
before passing it to your xslt. As a general rule I would not do this
as an extension function inside the xslt but as a function in a script
or application calling the xslt.

If the web service uses Post then you will need to keep on doing it
the way you've been doing it, although I would suggest moving the
extension function to an external script and passing the returned
(x)html to the xslt in that way.
