Hi Dave, saw your post and have been looking for similar facilities. I want to consume (what would be along the lines of message enhancing) RESTful services (*not* built with RESTEasy, essentially just HTTP calls that return XML) from within my action pipeline. I was looking for something *similar* to SOAPCLient, maybe called HTTPClient, but didn't find it. What is the best practice for consuming RESTful services from an action pipeline, can you shed some light here? Also, I'm curious about what happened to your HTTPRouter src, I don't really need a router but if there's nothing else perhaps I can make due. Also, I saw posts talking about abstracting an HTTPClient and making it a parent of SOAPCLient, has anything happened on that? Should I do it? Sorry to pelt you with questions, I've been having a hard time finding ino on this... thx!
