[Zope] Re: cannot access POST content in Zope

[Manuel Spuhler]

Thank you Tres,

if you have this problem, there is something in the Zope FAQ (!)
http://wiki.zope.org/zope2/FAQ#i-want-to-post-xml-content-but-zope-assumes-a-xmlrpc-request

For my Zope 2.9, the configure.zcml file would not work.
At first sight the XmlFix could work for Zope 2.9, it didn't for me
because I have SOAPSupport installed, which already patch
ZPublisher.HTTPRequest

So I patched ZPublisher.HTTPRequest again

## this is MS hack to disable xmlrpc and send back the text/xml
  # Hm, maybe it's an XML-RPC
            if (fs.headers.has_key('content-type') and
                'text/xml' in fs.headers['content-type'] and method == 'POST'):
                form['xml']= fs.value
                self.maybe_webdav_client = 0

I had to add a "xml" key, because as Tres Seaver said, ( I just
understood what you wrote when I dug into Zope, thank you for your
help ) the xml body is not marshalled. Then I got my xml back in
request.form['xml']

I'm not a Zope specialist, so it might sound terrible to do it like
this. If you have a nice way to code it, I'd love to learn it. At last
it works fine for me.
