[xquery-talk] saxon expath http-client not recognized?

[Michael Kay]

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.
