[xsl] redirect output of transformation

[Mike Sokolov <sokolov@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

(not sure if this is the right list for this; please redirect me if not):

I am trying to convince my transformer to write its output to a service 
running on HTTP, but when I set the output base-uri to my http service, 
it continues to try to write to the filesystem.

I tried:

java -jar saxon-8.7.jar -o http://charlestown/rest-service test.xml test.xsl

and get:

java.io.FileNotFoundException:
 /proj/test/http:/charlestown/rest-service (No such file or directory)

... reading an old e-mail thread I came across something called 
OutputURIResolver in Saxon, and I was looking at trying to make use of 
that by handing it a resolver and implementing my own version of the 
JAXP Result interface, but that interface has only a couple of methods, 
neither of which seems to accept a stream or a string or anything that 
looks like the result of a transformation.

can someone tell me if this is possible, and if so, what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks
