Are you using Activiti in an Alfresco-environment? If not, you should add additional beans (see userguide, configuration section). These beans are just java-objects. You can use these beans in your scripts by calling it's methods, passing in any data you want. In the java-implementation, you can use any HTTP-framework you want to do the heavy lifting.

Hi, I am using Activiti on it's own.

Thanks, I will try your advice.

Even in a script task you can do a call to a URL. See https://github.com/jbarrez/activiti-advanced-scripting/blob/master/src/test/resources/org/activiti/test/my-process.bpmn20.xml for example
