Hi Nathan, thanks for the reply.
Now if wan't to get the data sent in POST method to my endpoint, how to do it?

<#assign http_client_request = http.client.request("http", "www.somewebservicedomain.com", "/some/web/service").body("{ 'application':'lithium', 'user':'johnD' }", "application/json").post() />Yes i readed this.
Now i have a endpoint, who make a post with this client request, the url point to another endpoint.
How, in that second endpoint, i get the data send by the first endpoint?
To get data passed to an endpoint, you need to use the http.request context object:
I'm not certain that you are allowed to call one endpoint from inside another though.
