Re: [Exist-open] cannot get httpclient result type text

Hi Joop,

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do, but is seems to me that  
the httpclient does what it's supposed to do, namely "XML body content  
will be returned as a Node". Again, I'm not sure. You could try using  
the transform:transform function in your xquery to create the content  
you want from the httpclient XML.

Regards,

Huib.
