Arbortext Editor: calling a web service via web request

Hi together,

 

we would like to call a web request from ACL and also we will get a response string from this web request. 

Do you know an opportunity to do that? With javascript, vbscript maybe? 

Unfortunately we have no experience with that.


Greetings from germany

We would use Java for this.

Alternatives are Jscript/VBscript using MSXML APIs e.g. https://helloacm.com/using-xmlhttp-in-vbscript/

If you wish to use Javascript then you must realise it is the Rhino Java engine. Therefore, you must still call into Java e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22157910/using-rhino-js-engine-to-make-http-requests

The ACL code itself does not natively support HTTP to the best of my knowledge (would love to be proven wrong!).
