Hi All, I am using restxq. I wrote a function which takes one variable (this should be a chunk of text, not a single word). The output is xml. I can have the function work if I pass the content of the variable with
curl -X POST --data "variable=my text is long" http://address
How can I get the same result of the curl command with an xquery function? More in general, is this a good way to write a function in restxq when the variable is not a single word but the content of a file? (I am not even sure if a file can be passed as such in restxq) Thanks, Joseph

Hi, look at [1]. This is the documentation of the http client available in BaseX following eXpath specification in [2]. Your request in particularly should look like:
http:send-request(<http:request method="POST"/>, "http://address", "my text is long")
or more declaratively:
http:send-request(
    <http:request method="POST" href="http://address">
      <http:body media-type="text/plain">My text is long</http:body>
    </http:request>
)

Hi Marco, Thanks. I knew that page but the function does not work. The variable is not passed, whether I write exactly what you write or I specify "text=my text is long" ("text" is the name of the variable in the restxq function). Thanks, J.

Hi, mmhhh.. it's strange. I tried the following which just replaces the href with one that makes sense on my PC:
http:send-request(
    <http:request method="POST" href="http://localhost:8984/test">
      <http:body media-type="text/plain">My text is long</http:body>
    </http:request>
)
and added this restxq to my server's restxq,xqm: declare %rest:path('test') %rest:POST('{$body}') %rest:consumes("text/plain") function page:T($body as xs:string) { <a>{$body}</a> }; and when running the above request I get this response. Which looks correct.
<http:response xmlns:http="http://expath.org/ns/http-client" status="200" message="OK">
  <http:header name="Content-Length" value="22"/>
  <http:header name="Content-Type" value="application/xml; charset=UTF-8"/>
  <http:header name="Server" value="Jetty(8.1.16.v20140903)"/>
  <http:body media-type="application/xml"/>
</http:response>
<a>My text is long</a>
Hope this helps you out. Regards, M.

Hi Marco, Thanks! Yes now it works. The problem was that I did not use the variable in POST but in the form/query-param. Thanks! Joseph
