Seems to be working fine on
http://playground.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Aaron
Maybe there was a problem specifically on 6.2RC1 (BTW better use some final releases…:)).
I’d recommend 6.4.5 for the 6.x cycle.
Thanks

Page syntax is XWiki 2.1 and the velocity is wrapped. Sorry, I didn't include the full
code for simplicity's sake. Here's a minimal example cut and pasted from the
editor (only thing changed is the actual URL):
*******************************
{{velocity}}
#set($getURL = "https://www.example.com/api/example.mhtml?param=123")
$getURL
#set($content = $xwiki.getURLContent($getURL))
$content
{{/velocity}}
If I set $getURL to "https://google.com", it prints $content to the page. With
my API URL, I get nothing but the link in $getURL. But if I follow that link, I get the
expected XML page from the API, so I know the URL is working correctly.
I figured it was because $content is XML from the API, and HTML from google, but
using $services.xml.parse on the response doesn't work either.
The strange part is that this is code that I haven't touched in quite some time, and
used to be working. The full code parses the XML response and saves various elements to an
HTML table on the page - but it doesn't appear to be getting that far.

XWiki 6.2RC1. I have some velocity code using
getURLContent() to access an
external API that appears to not be working after a server move, despite
working in the past.
Something like this used to work:
*****************************
#set($url = "https://www.example.com/api/example.mhtml?param=123")
#set($response = $xwiki.getURLContent($url))
#if ($response)
#set($tags = $services.xml.parse($response).getElementsByTagName('TAG'))
$tags.length
#end
*****************************
Now, $response appears to be empty (nothing appears when written to the
page). Going directly to the API URL returns properly formatted XML, so I
know the API itself is working. And changing $url to
http://google.com also
returns data.
Any ideas?
What is the syntax of your page? Are you sure it’s XWiki Syntax 2.0+ and you’re wrapping
the velocity content with the {{velocity}} macro for example (you didn’t show it in your
example).
$response is still there
Thanks
