E.g. declare namespace http = "http://expath.org/ns/http-client";; let $r := <resp> { http:send-request(<http:request method='get'/>, ' http://export.arxiv.org/oai2?verb=Identify') } </resp> return $r/http:response/@status/data() I'm curious, though, what other people are doing in the context of their RESTXQ applications? Are you wrapping responses in elements, or processing them some other way (I looked through the Web Module[2] documentation but didn't see anything that looked apropos. In any case, enjoy your weekend.
