Communication with WebApps

Report · Jul 25, 2011

Hi all,

does anyone know a way how an InDesign-Script could communicate with a WebServer?

Maybe with the help of an AppleScript?

Thx, for suggestions!

That's a bit of a loaded question.

A script can definitely communicate. The best way to go about it probably depends pretty heavily on what you're trying to do...

Ok, sounds good. So the perfect way would be, if i could call a php-file with some args

on our webserver (via GET or POST if possible), then read the reply (an XML-String)

and convert it to an XML-Object to play with it...
