im lost here. in option 2 from Bojan's post there is no attached file.
there is only a variable that happens to store xml. if php is handling the
request on the system hosting $url from said post then the xml data will be
made available in the $_POST array albiet the 'data' index.
ergo, php on said system would look something like this
<?php
$rawRequestXml = $_POST['data'];
try {
$requestXml = new SimpleXmlElement($rawRequestXml);
} catch(Exception $e) {
// do error handling stuff
}
?>

i dont understand the 'need' to have the request data available in the
$_FILES array; whats wrong w/ $_POST ?
