I think you could do this via requests directly. It could be done in emacs: https://github.com/tkf/emacs-request
or python: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/ In your case you could have a block like this: #+BEGIN_SRC python import requests headers = {"Authorization": "Basic YmVfcmVzdF9hZG1", "Accept-Encoding": "application/xml"} r = requests.get("http://myserver/rest/dothis";, headers=headers) print r.text #+END_SRC John ----------------------------------- John Kitchin Associate Professor Doherty Hall A207F Department of Chemical Engineering Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 412-268-7803 http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu On Fri, Feb 7, 2014 at 8:35 AM, Karl Voit <devn...@karl-voit.at> wrote: > Hi! > > I am not an ELISP programmer (unfortunately) but a proud heavy-user > of Org-mode.
