in reply to Getting XML to text

I'm not sure I understand you correctly. You want to essentially spy on a third party's communication with the server?

If you aren't wiretapping live, you'd need the server to save relevant info to a log or database or whatnot, and then handle requests for that log file.

    Sorry, had to deal with personnal issues. No, this is not spying. Another party sends my PERL web service a request. I want to take the XML request they setn me, put into a text string and save it off. This should be so simple but I cannot seem to find the right method to do it.
