[MarkLogic Dev General] HTTP access to database documents

[Tim Finney]

Dear All,

Is there a way to get direct access to database documents via HTTP?

I would like to be able to do something like this (modelled on
xdmp:document-get()):

DB-doc-get(
  "http://www.example.com/path/to/somewhere/some-doc.xml",
  <options xmlns="xdmp:document-get" xmlns:http="xdmp:http">
    <format>xml</format>
    <http:authentication>
      <http:username>user</http:username>
      <http:password>pass</http:password>
    </http:authentication>
  </options>
)

In this example, path/to/somewhere would be a path to a place that exposes a database.

Best,
