If the data you're dealing with is very structured, your own XML
language may be the right answer (though GET and POST would still be
useful, not just POST).  But if the structure is fairly loose (such as
flat name/value pairs), I'd suggest just going with HTML or XHTML.  You
get the added bonus of being able to configure your server from any
place that has a browser - but you can do it from a program too if you
need to.
