Thanks for the pointer. I evaluated it and it seems not that good for my requirements because I need it mainly for documenting stuff/issues/... With request.el, I need lots of lines per call whereas restclient.el needs only three lines which can be written, read, adopted pretty easily. > or python: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/ > > In your case you could have a block like this: > > #+BEGIN_SRC python > import requests > headers = {"Authorization": "Basic YmVfcmVzdF9hZG1", > "Accept-Encoding": "application/xml"} > r = requests.get("http://myserver/rest/dothis";, headers=headers) > print r.text > #+END_SRC This would be completely OK to me. Unfortunately, cygwin does not come with "python-requests" and I failed at installing "pip" on my Windows machine [1] :-( Probably restclient.el has also a unique feature which is neat for my purpose: pretty printing XML responses. So I guess I have to stick with my current method which is using the *scratch* buffer and manually switching to restclient-mode and copy&paste the request and the results from/to my Org-mode buffers. However, thanks for the great links! 1. "python get-pip.py" runs without error message but then I can not execute nor find pip(.exe) at all :-( -- mail|git|SVN|photos|postings|SMS|phonecalls|RSS|CSV|XML to Org-mode: > get Memacs from https://github.com/novoid/Memacs < https://github.com/novoid/extract_pdf_annotations_to_orgmode + more on github
