It's coming in as a binary file, as i mentioned before in some examples,
perl reads the file with
read (STDIN, &$request, $length);
an asp example uses Request.TotalBytes to get the size then does a
BinaryRead()
then in a for loop converts it to a string. This is all well and good for
them but i can't find php code to compare this too.
This is being done to read a cxml request from a ariba site (if this sounds
familiar to anyone please let me know), some project that was assigned to
me, easy enough unfortunately these guys don't have examples in php on how
to do this php so i am at a loss as to how to retrieve this info. Sorry for
any confusion. Pretty much my reaction when i saw this stuff for the first
time too.
The CONTENT_TYPE is text/xml so something is getting through the way its
supposed to be.
