I have found the https://docs.marklogic.com/xdmp:http-post function.
I would like to use the token authentication method to send out a JSON document from MarkLogic to a middle tier node.js application. We use token authentication.
What http-options should I use to make this work?
Example:
(: Use xdmp:quote to encode the XML as a string
because the <data> options element is a string :)
let $payload := xdmp:quote('
{"alert": {
"id": "123abc",
"type": "sensorAlert",
"timestamp": "2015-08-12 T 13:48:45 CET",
"actions": ["go get them!"],
"status": "active"
}
}'
)
return
xdmp:http-post("http://cluey-app-ml1:9070/alert",
<options xmlns="xdmp:http">
<authentication method="basic">
<username>myname</username>
<password>mypassword</password>
</authentication>
<data>{$payload}</data>
<headers>
<content-type>application/json</content-type>
</headers>
</options>)
Ofcourse posting this as-is gives me a 401 unauthorized response:
<response xmlns="xdmp:http">
<code>401</code>
<message>Unauthorized</message>
