Thanks for the code! Seems more convenient than org.apache.HttpClient! 
Is there an easy way of retrieving ids out of a given URI? e.g. given
"http://ambit.uni-plovdiv.bg:8080/ambit2/dataset/8/compound/432" I want
to get the dataset id "8". I tried out the following using restlet:

Reference ref = new
Reference("http://ambit.uni-plovdiv.bg:8080/ambit2/dataset/8");
String datasetId =  ref.getSegments().get(2) ; 
String compoundId =  ref.getSegments().get(4) 

Is there a better way of doing this with restlet? How could I specify
header information in restlet? 

Best Regards,
Pantelis
