I'm trying to generate an xml transaction handler using apache,
modpython, python and sax. I would like to be able to post a file to
this website/handler with something like curl and have modpython
process the file. Something like

     $ cat MyXmlFile.xml | \
     >   curl https://www.example.com/iface.py/XmlHandler

My python looks like this:

     $ cat /var/www/data/www.example.com/iface.py
     #! /usr/local/bin/python2.1
     
     from mod_python import apache

     def XmlHandler(req):
        XmlData = req.readlines()
        ...

This does not get the contens of the file that I posted, in fact it's
empty. Is there any way short of using traditional CGI of getting this
file?

Thanks in advance and if I'm missing something in the manual please
feel free to give me a poke that sets me in the right direction.

Chris
