texte = This message is primarily for tech support at Smith Micro, but on the off chance that anyone else has any ideas...? I have to set up a system to interface to Ariba (a horrible corporate "spend solution") they want their server to connect to my server through a secure connection, and upload via a form post a complete XML file WebDNA barfs on this. there is no name/value pair. webDNA rips the xml file at the first equal sign it sees, then again at every ampersand (and the subsequent equal sign) thereafter. I haven't been able to put together any code that can reassemble this as a single coherent string of text. SOooooooooo a) is there a way to reassemble the string b) how about some more "raw" way of dealing with incoming variables so they can be directly dumped to a file or processed, or whatever. In addition, I've discovered that if you feed bad XML into the XML parser, there's a 1 in 15 chance that it will throw WebDNA into an infinite loop, thus requiring a reboot of the server.
