Unfortunately, the answer is, "it depends". If you have any control over
what the customer will post, you might be able to have them rework it so
that it follows the traditional format for posted data within a form - that
is, simply sticking something like this in front of the XML body of the POST
request:
myvar=
That's a crappy solution, though, even if it does work. As an alternative,
you might use something other than CF to receive the POST request - I've
used ASP in the past for this. I don't think there's much else you can do.
I'm just glad they've addressed this in CF 5 - I could do this with ASP when
it came out.
