In order to perform create (POST), or update (MERGE) operations on sharepoint items I need to set the 'X-RequestDigest' header with the request. When in SharePoint-hosted apps I was able to use the http://contoso.sharepoint.com/SharePointHostedApp/_api/contextinfo service to retrieve the request digest value; however, I am having trouble getting that value when in a provider hosted app. The first difference of provider hosted app is that now we need to make a cross-domain request since we are not running in a

Edited: What is the easiest way to scrape extract SharePoint list data to a separate SQL Server table? One condition: you're in a work environment where you don't control the SQL Server behind the SharePoint Server, so you can't just pull from the UserData table. Is there there any utilities that you can use to schedule a nightly extract? Is Microsoft planning any improvement here for "SharePoint 4"?
