posting xml
Hi,
What's the easiest way to post xml? Right now I'm using the jakarta
common's httpclient api. It looks like maybe the cinclude transformer
might do it, but I can't nail down exactly how. I see that you can
post parameters as key/value pairs, but that's not what we want. If
the cinclude doesn't do it, is there another way?
Thanks,
Ben

I am posting xmls the same way you do - with httpclient. There are
several advantages over sending xml as form field:
- smaller requests - with forms everything has to be encoded
- you may post bigger documents as you can read them on the server side
from stream instead of parsing everything into a String.

well, I guess we could... I orginally steered away from that idea
because it seemed that required the xml to be http encoded. Is that
true? I also don't see why we would want the parameter, when it
doesn't actually mean anything. The way we're doing it is closer to
the way soap works. Whether that's good or bad - I don't know. This
is also an external api, so we will be providing the server only. It
seems more standard to me to just tell the client to post the xml as
the request content instead of as a parameter value, but we're not
locked into this.

Why not just post your XML as the value of one of the key/pairs (using
cinclude)?
Can you be more specific about what your constraints are?
