Passing values to a web service

[Sajeev Sridharan]

Hi,

Can some body please guide me how to pass values to a web service for a particular operation from InDesign.

For example, if my Web service (http://demo.company.com/WebService/WebService.asmx) has "saveISBNs" operation, then how the values can be passed to the corresponding operation.

Thanks!

You could try the socket object, i found a thread with discussion on the same. Mentioned below is the link

Re: POST

Also you could try executing some command line utility like curl, or call your webservice using AppleScript, VbScript that is invoked from your JS code.
