Geesh, after reading this I've realized that I missed a 'minor' detail. hehe
My task is for a current WO application to import data from a new source, which happens to be a given URL. Far as I know it's read-only. (I can't imagine having to rewrite all my WO apps of over 10 years work. yikes, that would be scary)
one reply to this subject talked about REST. is this my solution?

They want to replace what EOF does with an HTTP service that will (most probably) be slower. Unless you are using D2W, you might find that something other than WO is a better option.
