I wish it could handle basic HTTP authentication as well. @John yes, HTTPURIType is very handy. I wish it could handle basic HTTP authentication as well.

It makes dealing with REST web services like the Google Maps API geocoder much easier. I'd been using UTL_HTTP, getting the data in pieces as a CLOB, then casting it as an XMLTYPE. This skips all that stuff. Thanks for pointing it out. I don’t know how I missed HTTPURIType.getxml in the Oracle docs.
