How do I handle an XML document sent as a POST [newbie]

[Chris Pizzo <ch...@artinside.com>]

I'm trying to figure out how to get the XML document sent to me in a An HTTP
transmission.  The example I'm given is:

HTTP headers:
POST HTTP/1.0
Content-type: text/xml; charset="UTF-8"
Content-length: 1862
Accept: text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2
User-Agent: Java1.1
Host: localhost:8080
Connection: Keep-Alive
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
.
.
.
I have found lots of examples on how to deal with the xml once I have it but
I don't understand how to get the xml document from the post?

Anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for your patience,
Chris

You can read the POST content directly in your mod_perl handler, e.g.:

sub handler
{
   my $r = shift;
   my $content;
   $r->read($content, $r->header_in("Content-length"));

   # do stuff with $content...
}

See the mod_perl Cookbook recipe 3.6
