Re: [xml] Using HTTP POST from XSLT to access webservices

["Mikhail S Grushinskiy" <mgrushinskiy comcast net>]

It seems this idea is not new, but still nobody implemented it.

http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200212/msg00068.html

There is also <exslt:document> extension wich apparently doesn't let you to
get access to response message.

Does <exslt:document> do PUT or POST in case href is HTTP URL?

Thanks,
