and optionally what XSLT style sheet to apply. (If you don't apply a style sheet, FileMaker
assumes the data is already in its special FMPXMLRESULT format.)
Unlike the typical import command, when you import XML data, you don't actually have to
have a
file
to import from. This window also lets you specify an “HTTP request,” which is
just a fancy way of saying “web page.” Type the URL of a web page here, and FileMaker
goes out over the Internet, grabs the page, and pulls it down for you. Believe it or not, a lot of
XML data is available hot off the Web like this. Likewise, you can choose to fetch the XSLT
template from the Web as well.
