Re: [libmicrohttpd] Accepting application/xml payload

[Christian Grothoff]

Dear Ken,

I'm not sure I understand what your problem is; if you just get an XML stream 
uploaded
to the server that you then parse yourself, why do you invoke the MHD post 
processor?

You should be able to just take the upload data from the "upload_data" and 
"upload_data_size"
arguments and give that _directly_ to your XML parser, replacing the calls that 
you currently
make to the post processor with calls to the XML input routine.

If you don't know what the client will send you, you might of course want to 
manually check
for the FORM_URLENCODING first, but again I suspect you know how to do this.

Please let me know if this doesn't solve your problem, as I might totally not 
be understanding
the question.


Happy hacking!

Christian
