NAME

Apache::AxKit::Provider::POST - Allow round tripping of XML via HTTP POST

DESCRIPTION

This module allows you to use POST'ed data as your XML source. This provides a very quick and easy way to configure a WebServices system. All the power of AxKit is available, including plugins and content negotiation.

SYNOPSIS

 <Location  /WebServices>
        SetHandler axkit
        AxContentProvider Apache::AxKit::Provider::POST
        AxIgnoreStylePI On      # You don't want to act on these.
        AxNoCache On            # You don't want to cache
        AxGzipOutput On         # Better network performance
        AxResetProcessors               # Only allow things we have explicity configured.
        AxResetPlugins
        AxResetStyleMap
        AxResetOutputTransformers
        <AxMediaType screen>
                AxAddStyleMap      text/xsl      Apache::AxKit::Language::LibXSLT       
                AxAddRootProcessor   ....       
        </AxMediaType>  
 </Location>

SECURITY

It's a good idea to use AxResetProcessor, then you can configure your webservices stuff to only accept locally configured directives. Things not configured will just get bounced back to the client unmodified. Since you can't trust the source data, you only want to handle things you have explicity configured.
