RE: [xsl] redirect output of transformation

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's a processor-specific question, so you should really ask on the Saxon
list (saxon-help list or forum at sourceforge).

You can supply a JAXP StreamResult that encapsulates an OutputStream, and if
you can construct an OutputStream that writes to your HTTP destination then
the problem is solved.

You can't do this from the command line though. The -o option is always
treated as a filename.

Incidentally, Saxon 8.7 is getting a bit elderly.
