application/x-www-form-urlencoded
as in SOAP requests where the POST body is encoded as text/xml
).
Example
Example 24.154. Reading a HTTP request entity body
Suppose we have the following HTTP request
POST /foo/bar.vsp HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: text/xml Content-Length: ... <document>abc</document>
The following VSP page will read the content and return an XML document back to the browser.
<?vsp
declare ses any;
ses := http_body_read ();
http_header ('Content-Type: text/xml\r\n');
http (string_output_string (ses));
?>
