Bretheren,

I am trying to use HTTP::Daemon to return an XML snippet (SVG) generated with SVG.pm.

I am finding myself unable to return the complete XML message when I generate it. When I print the content of my XML to log, I get the entire, fully-qualified string. However, when I try to implement

$c->send_response($string);

where $string is a complete XML message, I only get the last snippet of XML (3-4 lines of comments at the bottom of the file.

So my Big Question is, how do I send XML content using HTTP::Daemon ? I'd appreciate any help on this...

use HTTP::Daemon;
use HTTP::Status;
use SVG;

my $d = new HTTP::Daemon;
print "Please contact me at: <URL:", $d->url, ">\n";
while (my $c = $d->accept) {
    while (my $r = $c->get_request) {
        my $svg = SVG->new(width=>'100%',height=>'100%');

        my $g = $svg->group(id=>'group-1');

        $g->circle(id=>'circle-1',
            cx=>int(rand(400)),
            cy=>int(rand(400)),
            r=>int(rand(100)),);

        if ($r->method eq 'GET') {
            my $path = $r->url->path;
            $path =~ /\/(.+)/;
            $sessionid = $1 || '00';
            $g->text(x=>int(rand(400)),
                    y=>int(rand(400)))
                        ->cdata($sessionid);
            $c->send_response($svg->xmlify());

        } else {
            $c->send_error(RC_FORBIDDEN)
        }
    }
    $c->close;
    undef($c);
}
