Using SimpleHttpConnection from Webscripts

[jon81]

I am trying to use SimpleHttpConnection to retrieve content (from a remote server) in a webscript and write it to a content node.

my code looks like:

simplehttpresult = SimpleHttpConnection.getContent(url);
content.properties.content.write(simplehttpresult);‍‍

The error I get in the logs is:

Error: InternalError: Can't find method org.alfresco.repo.jscript.ScriptNode$ScriptContentData.write(java.lang.String).

So I guess my question is, how do I caste a String to a ScriptContent object (or whatever format it needs to be in)?

First of all you need to make sure you have proper content node.
once you have the reference of that node let's say "tempnode"
you can write in that like this

var contentStr="this is for test";
tempnode.properties.content=contentStr;

Thankyou for the reply. The problem is the data is binary. Also the remote server is not alfresco. (I probably should have mentioned that)

Is this possible?
