Installable with the Extension Manager

Description

This library eases simple HTTP operations from XWiki scripts, such as downloading a remote page as a string or as a a byte array. It delegates HTTP operations to the org.apache.http package.

Usage

{{velocity}}
## Download a page as text (the endpoint below is fake)
#set ($json = $services.http.getString("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteorite?format=json"))
## Download a resource as bytes (e.g. an image, so that it can then get attached to an XWiki page)
#set ($bytes = $services.http.getBytes("https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/Namibie_Hoba_Meteorite_05.JPG/220px-Namibie_Hoba_Meteorite_05.JPG"))
{{/velocity}}
