[xwiki-users] Making an HTTP POST call from an XWiki extension
What is the easiest/recommended way to make an HTTP POST or GET call from within an XWiki extension? Should I use Restlet? (I am guessing XWiki comes with Restlet support)
Hi, What do you wish to do exactly? To where do you wish to go an HTTP POST or GET? Som ideas: * If it’s to get some external content XWiki has some APIs. * You could use groovy which makes it extra easy to do HTTP (see snippets on extensions.xwiki.org or google it) Thanks -Vincent On 15 Oct 2015 at 03:44:24, Debajit Adhikary ([email protected]) wrote: What is the easiest/recommended way to make an HTTP POST or GET call from within an XWiki extension?

Also, from where do you wish to make the request? * from the client side (the browser) in which case you have to use JavaScript (e.g. jQuery), but the request must target the same domain * from the server side, in which case you can use Velocity, Groovy of even Java (if you extension has some components). Hope this helps, Marius
