Dear BasexTalk,

for different (good or bad) reasons, I would like to use the java HTTPConnection instead of the http:client module.

But, I am not able to find the correct syntax for these statements.

I have tried the middle dot character to force the correct type, without success

I receive always the message :

[XPTY0004] java.net.URL instance expected as first argument, xs:anyURI found.

Any idea?

Thank you in advance

declare namespace HttpURLConnection ="java.net.HttpURLConnection";
declare namespace URL ="java.net.URL";

let $urlString := "https:www.google.com"
let $url := URL:new($urlString)
let $httpConn := URL:openConnection($url)

return $urlString
