plus a front-end application (usually Web-based) that provides a graphical user interface
(GUI) for end users. The front-end application translates end users' input into HTTP or
HTTPS requests and sends the requests to QuarkXPress Server or QuarkXPress Server
Manager, which processes the requests and returns rendered content.
Dissecting a QXP Server URL
To interact with QuarkXPress Server from a Web browser, use a URL like the following:
http://[server]:[port]/[namespace]/[directory]/[DocumentName]?[parameter]=Value
•
[server]: The name or IP address of the computer for QuarkXPress Server or
QuarkXPress Server Manager.
•
[port]: The port number on which to contact QuarkXPress Server or QuarkXPress Server
Manager. The default port is 8080 for QuarkXPress Server and 8090 for QuarkXPress Server
Manager.
•
[namespace]: Defines what the URL action will be and any parameters and conditions
available to that namespace.
•
[directory]: The path in the document pool where the project is stored, relative to the
QuarkXPress Server document pool. To access the root level, no directory path is necessary.
(Note that you can also supply assets as part of a multipart HTTP request. For more
information, see "Using HTTP POST with QXP Server.")
•
[DocumentName]: The name of the QuarkXPress project to be processed.
•
[parameter]: Further defines the URL action with attributes and values allowed for the
namespace or general call. Pass parameters in the form attribute=value, with parameters
separated by the "&" character.
For QuarkXPress Server Manager, use a URL like the following:
http://[server]:[port]/qxpsm/request/[namespace]/[directory]/
[DocumentName]?[parameter]=Value
Prior to QuarkXPress Server 9.0, you had to use different URL constructions when sending
requests to an instance of QuarkXPress Server Manager in a QPS installation than you did
when sending requests to a free-standing instance of QuarkXPress Server Manager. In
versions 9.0 and later, both can use /qxpsm/request/ after [port]/ .
You can now use both absolute and relative paths when you modify a project with SDK
objects or classes. Relative paths are almost always relative to the document pool. If you
use multiple QuarkXPress Server instances, you should use a common document pool.
Interpreting the QXP Server Manager response
When QuarkXPress Server Manager successfully processes a request through the HTTP
interface, the response is the same as QuarkXPress Server's response unless the user has
supplied additional parameters to QuarkXPress Manager. For more information, see
"Working with QuarkXPress Server Manager" in A Guide to QuarkXPress Server.
