    Hi mfeltscher 

    Yes, you can get in touch with our Lithium representative for your organization which will begin the Professional Services engagement.

    Unfortunately I do not have an ETA for when and if the http.client will be made available to custom components.

     

    Thanks,

Hi NicoB 

 

This really is a show stopper issue for us. Using an AJAX call to get this information does not work on clients which have JavaScript disabled. The data we are trying to load is crucial and has to be part of the response, otherwise the whole custom component is unusable.

 

How do I contact your Professional Services team? Should I talk to our Lithium contact about it?

 

Do you see any chance the http.client FreeMarker Context Object will be available in custom templates soon or at least it's possible to use endpoints inside custom templates as stated here?

 

 

Thanks,

Moreno
