Um, no, you try it and tell us what problems you had. (Because it works perfectly fine on my end, even with application/xml and even with the request in your first post.)

    Using the test program from above, I found the the Content type made a difference with the above script (on my system). 

    tuser:/u1/data/MeerKat/taxiiSite$ telnet localhost 8080
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
POST /hello HTTP/1.1
Content-type: text/plain
Content-length: 6

foobar
HTTP/1.1 200
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

<<<foobar>>>
Connection closed by foreign host.

    There may also be a difference between the result in the 'handle_request()' and the dispatched 'resp_hello()'.

    It is always better to have seen your target for yourself, rather than depend upon someone else's description.

        And I have no memory of ever loading CGI, it was probably a dependency of something
