#45526 - 11/25/13 03:45 PM Post JSON data to RESTful web service
wags OL User Registered: 06/07/11 Posts: 69 Loc: New York	First of all, I've had great success using the Soap Client Plug-in in workflow. I've been interested in connecting to some newer web services recently, and some of them only offer a REST API. Is there any talk of adding this kind of functionality somehow as an action plug-in in Workflow? It would be awesome if I could build a JSON-formatted message to post to a specific web service (over SSL) and include the base-64 encoded data that makes up my document (a PDF). Similar to the SOAP-based plug-in, I'd like to capture the response so that I can check for any errors and react accordingly. Anyone else interested in this kind of thing? Thanks for your consideration!

However, the good news is that you can already implement most of it through scripting, using the available Microsoft.XMLHTTP object. Plenty of examples exist on the web to help you get started. _________________________ Technical Product Manager I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying - Woody Allen
