[Exist-open] Fwd: Errors deploying collection

[Hayim L. <hl...@um...>]

Dear list,
This is technically an expath problem rather than an eXist problem, but I
was hoping that the accumulated knowledge on the list might provide a quick
fix and that this is not list abuse.

I am upgrading an app from eXist version 4 to 5+ and need to rewrite an
http-post request in one function from the older http-client to the new
expath http client. In the attached xql file the post request begins at
line 102.

My attempted rewrite is wrong. I've tried the following, where $tokens is a
json represntation of textual data from which CollateX
<https://collatex.net> generates an alignment table that is returned in
json as $results

let $results := parse-json(
        content:get-metadata-and-content(
        http:send-request(<http:request href="
http://52.12.26.11:8080/collatex/collate" method="post">
        <http:body media-type="text/plain"
content-type="text/plain">{($tokens,$headers)}</http:body>
        </http:request>
        )))
        return ... (: do stuff with $results :)

Unfortunately, I cannot figure out how to address the error report
("Invalid attributes") that eXist returns.

I'd be truly grateful for any pointers.

Many thanks,
