Forms and conversion of certain characters

[Stephen A Roberts]

How do I prevent my input value in my form from being converted from
something like:
<?xml version="1.0"><message>Test Message</message>
to
&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;&gt;&lt;message&gt;Test
Message&lt;/message&gt

which the server won't accept? (The server also requires me to POST the
message.)

Cheers

Steve

By not performing such a conversion in the form handler. If your _browser_
does that, file a bug report.

Pardon? Your form handler accepts whatever you make it accept.

(The server also requires me to POST the message.)

I think this is getting too mystic now. Maybe a URL would throw some light.
