i'm passing xml string like this:

http://localhost/myservice/input.aspx?<name>james</name>

so in the input.aspx, i tried to do this:

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();


doc.Load(Request.InputStream);

however, the InputStream length is always 0, and there seems to be nothing in it. what is wrong with my setup?

i need to pass xml this way since this is now flash mx's .sendAndLoad() passing xml data to the server.

thanks!

You only showed part of your program, so it is really hard to tell. However there is one thing you might forget, did you enable HTTP POST? Web Service disables the HTTP POST by default, you need to enable it either in machine.config or in web.config.

Try the following code to read the XML content from the Input Stream

Imports System.IO

Dim iostr As StreamReader

Dim objXML As XmlDocument
Dim objRoot As XmlElement
Dim docRead As XmlReader


objXML = New XmlDocument()

Try
iostr = New StreamReader(Request.InputStream)
objXML.LoadXml(iostr.ReadToEnd())
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write(ex.ToString)
Finally
'Response.End()
End Try

objRoot = objXML.DocumentElement

Response.Write(objRoot.Name)

and continue to parse the XML content

Hope this would solve your problem.
