[MarkLogic Dev General] Return value from xdmp:http-post

[Charles Foster]

Hi Bob,

Have you double checked that the functions signatures for xdmp:http-post
and xdmp:quote are filled correctly?

A small mistake like using xdmp:unquote instead of xdmp:quote can cause a
XDMP-DOCROOTTEXT exception, e.g.

xdmp:unquote(<e>my data</e>)

If this doesn't resolve your issue, please could you send an isolated
example of code which doesn't work?

Regards,

Charles
