Thanks Rupa. I guess I need to re-read your email to understand better. For now I have asked the vendor controlling the end point to switch to GET. I will try out what you suggested when I get some free cycles and update this thread.<div>

Just remember to urlencode the (full) contents of the XML.</div><div><br></div><div>And try it out.  Use wireshark to see what is sent over the wire to the server.  </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div class="h5">

Yes what I am looking for is to POST xml data in the body and not as name/value pairs. Is this possible?<div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>-JP<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div>On Wed, Feb 6, 2013 at 7:21 PM, Rupa Schomaker <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:rupa@rupa.com" target="_blank">rupa@rupa.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

<div>url_encode_data is supposed to be the url encoded version of what you want to send to the server.  It is encoded on purpose (so that we don&#39;t have to worry about embedded spaces or other special chars).</div>
<div><br></div><div>So, you really just need to do:</div><div><br></div><div>curl <a href="http://example.com/" target="_blank">http://example.com/</a> post encodedxmlhere</div><div><div><br></div>

<div>
<br></div><div>curl <a href="http://example.com/" target="_blank">http://example.com/</a> post xml=encodedxmlhere</div>
<div><br></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>This will result in www-url-encoded with key/value pair with xml as key and the encoded xml as the value.  This may be what the OP wants, but I think what he wants is just XML.</div>



<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Note that the content-type will still be <span style="line-height:17px;font-size:13px;font-family:Arial,FreeSans,Helvetica,sans-serif">application/x-www-form-urlencoded which is &quot;wrong&quot;.  I&#39;ve written xml service endpoints that behave differently based on the content-type.  Depending on how your service is written this may be ok or not.  There is an open ticket to address the content-type issue.</span></div>
