application/x-www-form-urlencoded as in SOAP requests
where the POST body is encoded as text/xml).

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));
