[xsl] HTTP request in XSLT 3

["Willem Van Lishout willemvanlishout@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I was wondering what the currently accepted way is of performing a basic
HTTP request in XSLT.

I found some references to the EXPath http-client module (see
https://github.com/fgeorges/expath-http-client-java), but I can't seem to
get it to work. The samples refer to a stylesheet located at "
http://expath.org/ns/http-client.xsl";, but I get a 404 when trying to reach
it.

Does this still work or will I have to write my own extension function (or
perhaps XSLT 3.0 / Saxon have made it easier in the course of time?)

Thanks.
