How to submit xml data to a web site?

I am using a third party to process transactions. They have an api that says XML content should submitted via an HTTP POST variable named “XML”.

I know how to create the xml, but not sure how to post it to their site. They have a destination url. Can you tell me how to do the Post to their site?

You need to carefully check. Usually you just post XML to an URL. However in this case (indicated by the variable name) it seems that a (typically only used for html forms) form post is needed.

The easiest way is to create a html form with that one field, something like this:

  <form method="post" action="http://their url" name="payload">
     <input type="hidden" id="XML" name="XML" />
  </form>

Then you can fill the field with your XML and do a payload.submit()

Let us know how it goes
