> From: David Wolverton > What uses have you found for CallHTTP for in your applications?
David, as you know, I use web services every day and have written articles, products, and interfaces for clients based on them. The modern world is all about The Cloud, Virtualization, Software As A Service, the Service Oriented Architecture, and Web Services. A significant percentage of code these days is dedicated to exchanges via SOAP, XMLRPC, REST, and other protocols over HTTP. To the rest of the world, this is simply the way things are now done, whether we're talking about moving documents, requesting services, controlling devices, or storing data. I encourage you to elevate the question past "What uses have you found" in an MV-based forum. In this market some people are still kicking the tires on paradigms that have been accepted in the rest of the world for over a decade. Look to the mainstream for examples of web services (particularly REST). You'll find a lot of inspiration there, and it will apply to your MV work as much as it applies to anyone else. The CallHTTP interface is just a tool. HTTP interfaces can be done in many ways. Once you have a better feel for the scope of applications, you'll have your answer about CallHTTP in particular, and you can consider that as one possible tool for implementation. (This concept applies to All tools in the MV world.) As to how you send data to a trading partner with CallHTTP, the payload is in your query. You should be able to push out any information that can be provided in a URL, or via a GET/POST request from a browser form.
