Post XML

[Robyn Mylius]

might seem like a dumb question but does anyone know how i can post XML from
the browser to the server, in just an ordanary HTML (derived from XML) page.
Flash can do it so i assume that there must be a way to do it from a
standard html page. i'd prefer not to use ActiveX or Java Applets, but if
that's how it done then so be it.

i need to get a better structure for the data being sent to the cgi script
then the MIME string.

I still don't get why you want to send XML from a browser. What is the
client doing? Are they modifying the database? Making queries?

You mean form submission? There are a couple of modules you can
use to decode them and/or present them to your app as XML/XMTP.
Or if you mean file upload of an XML doc, just use mod_upload.

Erm, if it's CGI, why not just use a CGI library to decode the data?
That's a readymade, tried-and-tested solution.

what are these modules that can decode the forms and present them as XML
called?
