I need to support a third party web service (which is not within my control) that wants to send xml data to my zope server (Zope 2.9.2 running on Redhat linux). When Zope receives a POST request with a Content-Type of text/xml it assumes that it is an xmlrpc call (which it is not - it is just passing xml data within the POST request). Is there a way to get Zope to turn off this "xmlrpc assumption" so that my zope external method can process the xml data that is being passed? Thanks, Jonathan P.S. details of a wget session that illustrate the error being generated follows: Setting --header (header) to Content-Type: text/xml Setting --post-data (postdata) to <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <bulkMtNotification> <transactionId>235006</transactionId> <triggerId>1160</triggerId> <message>test #27</message> <date>2007-09-14 15:52:59</date> <phoneNumber>+11234567890</phoneNumber> <carrierId>26</carrierId> <carrierName>Sprint</carrierName> <shortCode>55555</shortCode> </bulkMtNotification> DEBUG output created by Wget 1.10.2 (Red Hat modified) on linux-gnu. --16:12:28-- http://192.168.123.2:8080/Coz/Process3Ci => `Process3Ci.1' Connecting to 192.168.123.2:8080... connected.
