Just out of curiosity I ran a test using content-type of 'application/xml' 
and zope does not raise the xmlrpc error (as it does with content-type of 
'text/xml'), but the POST content is not available within the REQUEST 
object.

This appears to be the same problem that I encountered using a content-type 
of 'text/xml' with the xmlrpc test turned off (ie. no xmlrpc error, but no 
POST data).

Does zope only make POST data available within the REQUEST object if the 
content-type is set to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" or 
"multipart/form-data"?
