Here is the situation. There is sort of web service (Ariba buyer for those who cares) that posts plain unencoded XML using POST method to a mod_perl 1.x application.
Somewhere at the very top the application does use CGI; my $cgi=CGI->new(); and then passes this $cgi reference around. Assuming that this CANNOT BE CHANGED, i.e. we get called sometime in the middle and have no control over what's above us, is there a way to get the XML message posted to us? $r->content returns '' as it was already called once by CGI. CGI does not save the content anywhere -- it parses it instead. And while parsing, it assumes that arguments can be separated by both ';' and '&'. So that if we join arguments back we either convert all ';'s into '&'s or vice versa. Any ideas? So far I can only see customizing CGI.pm to make it save original POST'ed content.
