Subject: [xquery-talk] saxon expath http-client not recognized?
Message-ID: <8C81E043-CCEF-403A-AF07-72EE1137F104@polvo.ca>

Hi, first time posting (or maybe last time was like 10 years ago). I?m trying to make a simple get request with the expath http-client but keep getting the following error:

Using Saxon (from command line and all three versions in oXygen):

xquery version "1.0";
declare namespace http = "http://expath.org/ns/http-client";
let $path := "/file.xml"
let $host := "http://polvo.ca"
let $url := concat($host,$path)
let $request := <http:request href="{$url}" method="get" />
return
http:send-request($request)

Static error on line 11 column 20 of apa-test.xq:
 XPST0017 Cannot find a 1-argument function named Q{http://expath.org/ns/http-client}send-request()
Static error(s) in query


Hope I?m just just being dumb and the answer is obvious?

Thanks,

Paul

Saxon (out of the box) has no support for the EXPath HTTP client module. There's a third party implementation, but I have no idea of its current status, or of its dependencies.

The error suggests either that the library doesn't work, or that you haven't installed it (correctly or at all), or that it doesn't work with this version of Saxon.

I would suggest tackling this a different way. Make the request using the doc() function, and write a Java URIResolver to service the request, using the Java HTTP API if you need full control over the request and response handling.
