Inspect the xml string a char at a time to see if this is what is happening.

When using a html form to post the xml, it has to be in a formfield named "xml". When I attempt to debug the service call, it /looks/ as if the xml being sent contains nothing extra, but I keep getting the response listed below from the server... any suggestions? <RESPONSE_GROUP><RESPONDING_PARTY /><RESPOND_TO_PARTY _Name="" /><RESPONSE InternalAccountIdentifier="" ResponseDateTime="03-23-2007 07:12:39" _JobIdentifier=""><RESPONSE_DATA><PROPERTY_INFORMATION_RESPONSE><STATUS _Code="0005" _Description=" XML IS NOT WELL-FORMED OR IS INVALID.
