Well, it is definitely better to receive XML in the body of a POST request instead of through the query string (this can be tested for, assuming the client is kind enough to provide it, by check the Content-Type header for "text/xml"). If the XML is long enough, some HTTP server implementations may not be able to handle the long query string. Apart from this, I have no suggestion for you, especially if you have no control over how the client will be sending you the XML. --- Seairth Jacobs seairth@s... www.seairth.com
