Thanks Stuart. = It's actually reversed.

A device is sending an XML doc via post to our server. I can log that post but I can't grab the contents of the post which is an XML document. As you can see in the thread, I can read the headers. The post is sending to our server. In PHP, I can grab the contents of the post with file_get_contents('php://input'). But in WebDNA there doesn't seem to be anyway to grab the contents of a post if it is not send as a series of form variables.

I checked the docs and don't see anything :(

Am starting to write this interface in PHP and call it a day.

Thanks, Olin

Then = just parse the resulting variable [XML_result] to get what you need.

What the above code does is takes the file contents, something I can't seem to do via webdna.

Unless someone has an idea on how to grab the raw POST of an incoming post that is not set to a form variable.
