How to request a HTTP Web Service from a XWiki Document

Answer

You can do this using the Groovy programming language. (You will need to have programming rights when saving the document).
Example : requesting the Twitter public time line in XML format
<%
try {
URL timelineURL = new URL("http://twitter.com/statuses/public_timeline.xml");
def connection = timelineURL.openConnection();
def text = connection.content.text
// The following only prints the returned XML
// in the wiki page as a "code" block.
// You should replace it by your processing code to
// exploit only the data relevant to you
print ("{" + "code}\n")
print text + "\n"
print ("{" + "code}\n")
}
catch(Exception e) {print e.message}
%><%
try {
updateURL = new URL("http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml");
def connection = updateURL.openConnection();
connection.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " +
(new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode("username:password".getBytes())));
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
def osr = new OutputStreamWriter(connection.getOutputStream());
osr.write("status="+"Here the status you want to update");
osr.close();
def responseText = connection.content.text
//[...]
} catch (Exception e) {
print( e.message + "\n" )
}
