Hi Peter, sorry I did not manage to answer you earlier :-)
As a quick hint, could you please try the following: * put your query file into the filesystem as described in http://docs.basex.org/wiki/REST * Please note, that in 7.3 the variable WEBPATH has been called HTTPPATH (I hope this does not add to the confusion ;-))
Apart from that, I can only encourage you to have a look at RestXQ as it is most flexible in my opinion for running XQuery server-side and empowering not only rest service but interactive website as well. => http://docs.basex.org/wiki/RESTXQ
Hope this helps!

Hello List
this is a noob question:
I have BaseX 7.3 set up using httpserver. I can add a script to HTTPPATH and run it using http://%7Bserver:port%7D/rest?run=myScript.xq
However, if I add myScript.xq to a database and try to run it then [http://%7Bserver:port%7D/rest/DB/myScript.xq ] then all I get returned is the XQuery script itself as a text file, the query doesn't run.
From the examples e.g. http://docs.basex.org/wiki/REST#GET_Requests_2 I thought that I am doing the same type of call, e,g, http://localhost:8984/rest/DB/mult.xq?a=21&b=2
What should I be doing?
Many thanks
Peter
