[support] How to send a XML to drupal menu callback

[Michel Morelli]

Hi all. I need to receive via POST an XML.

I have created this  hook_menu() entry:

$items['foo'] = array(
    'title' => 'Get xml',
    'page callback' => 'zb_bar',
    'access arguments' => array('access content'),
      'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,
  );



and this is my function:

function zb_bar() {
ob_start();
  var_dump($_POST);
  $mailBody = ob_get_contents();
   
    ob_end_clean();
    echo $mailBody;
    exit;

}

This is my test_script.php:

include_once './includes/bootstrap.inc';
drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);
    $xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><req>pippo</req>';
    //$header = array('Content-Type' => 
'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
    $header = array('Content-Type' => 'text/xml');
    $ret = 
drupal_http_request("http://mysite.it/foo",$header,"POST",$xml,3);
    var_dump($ret);


And this is $ret content:

object(stdClass)#22 (4) {
  ["request"]=>
  string(219) "POST /foo HTTP/1.0
Host: www.mysite.it
User-Agent: Drupal (+http://drupal.org/)
Content-Length: 59
Content-Type: text/html

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><req>pippo</req>"
  ["data"]=>
  string(13) "array(0) {
}
"
  ["headers"]=>
  array(11) {
    ["Date"]=>
    string(29) "Mon, 28 Jun 2010 14:40:46 GMT"
    ["Server"]=>
    string(137) "Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.13-0.dotdeb.1 with 
Suhosin-Patch proxy_html/3.0.0 mod_python/3.3.1 Python/2.5.2 
mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0"
    ["X-Powered-By"]=>
    string(21) "PHP/5.2.13-0.dotdeb.1"
    ["Set-Cookie"]=>
    string(147) 
"........................................................................................................................"
    ["Expires"]=>
    string(29) "Sun, 19 Nov 1978 05:00:00 GMT"
    ["Last-Modified"]=>
    string(29) "Mon, 28 Jun 2010 14:40:46 GMT"
    ["Cache-Control"]=>
    string(25) "post-check=0, pre-check=0"
    ["Vary"]=>
    string(15) "Accept-Encoding"
    ["Content-Length"]=>
    string(2) "13"
    ["Connection"]=>
    string(5) "close"
    ["Content-Type"]=>
    string(24) "text/html; charset=utf-8"
  }
  ["code"]=>
  string(3) "200"
}



Why $_POST is empty (see "data" ) ?
