ZPublisher seems to assume that if the Content-type on an HTTP POST is "text/xml", then the request contains an xmlrpc call.
I would like to POST an XML document and handle it myself
1. I would prefer not to hack Zope.
The more I look at this problem and the Zope code set up to handle it, the more I think that hacking Zope is the only way to accomplish what I want. The question I keep coming to, though, is "Is it right that Zope assumes that all POSTs with a text/xml payload are xmlrpc calls?" and I can't help but answering "no". Couldn't we change Zope so that you have to specifically indicate an xmlrpc call with a Content-type that would not be used for something else, like "application/xmlrpc"? Or is inventing new Content-types considered bad form? JZ
