Our main ERP system (along with many other programs/services these days) has an API that uses HTTP POST requests to allow integrations with other programs.
Along with the new webrequest feature, this could open dbFront to a new level of integration with external resources.
Adding HTTP Post functionality to the WebRequest functionality is a logical next step. I have already renamed WebGet to WebRequest. NOTE: Please vote on or Fund this Feature Request if it interests you.
In case it helps anyone else... I found this code sample from Microsoft that adds GET/POST functionality to SQL Server with a CLR function/procedure.
It still would be better to have this functionality at the front-end to avoid consuming database server resources, but our load is light enough that it should work for now.
