title: How to make HTTP requests from Illustrator script?
body: <p>Has anyone managed to successfully make HTTP requests from an Illustrator script (<code>.jsx</code>) and would be willing to share how?</p>
  
  <p>I'm currently experimenting with CS3 on OS X, but CS4–5.5 would work as well.</p>
  
  <p>I've found an example using Bridgetalk to utilize Bridge's socket connection, but couldn't get it to work so far.</p>
  
  <p>Someone mentioned a wrapper around libcurl and also a simple bash script came to mind. Haven’t found much information on how to achieve either yet.</p>
  
  <p><em>Any</em> input/advice/hint would be highly appreciated!</p>
