Hi all -

I was hoping that someone on the list could help with my thinking about parsing the http:response values from a request; I've tried the following, but I'm not thinking about this correctly.

declare namespace oai = "http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/";

declare namespace h = "http://expath.org/ns/http-client";

http:send-request(<http:request method='get' href='http://export.arxiv.org/oai2?verb=Identify'/>)//@status/data()

returns '200', but trying 

http:send-request(<http:request method='get' href='http://export.arxiv.org/oai2?verb=Identify'/>)/h:response/@status

fails.

I'm guessing (but am not sure) that the combination of the <http:response> with the body of the response is causing my problem, but I'm not sure how to wiggle my way around it.

Note: this is not in a RESTXQ context (yet), but for my simple trials is there a way to get at the http -namespace elements?

Thank you for your time and trouble.

Best,

Bridger
