Making a HTTP GET in Javascript (Rhino in Alfresco)

[flyer]

Hi all,

I would like to perform a HTTP GET in a javascipt (running by Alfresco who is using rhino).

I've tried something like:
importPackage(Packages.org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient);
or
var client = new java.org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient();

but it seems like importPackage or imporClass or not accessible and HttpClient also .

Any Idea?
Florent,

i'm not quite sure how the classpath for rhino is set up.  what context are you running this script under?

one thing you might try is

var client = java.lang.Class.forName("org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient").newInstance();
