And HTTP is not > restricted to XML, it sends and receives text. I'm assuming that saxon:parse is just one aspect of the <body> element since the example assumes that the element contains XML. It would be possible for the <body> element to contain a Jpeg image in the form of base 64 encoding and one would use saxon:base64Binary-to-octets to manipulate or output the actual image. However, what about multi-part content? It doesn't seem like the extension function currently handles this possibility. Looking at the examples I think that a small change in the request/response XML could handle multi-part content. Just wrap the <header> and <body> in a <part> element which takes an attribute for the part's identifier. Andy.
