OK, then I suppose another possibility is that whatever is getting the text representation of your xml document to include in your request content is doing it by grabbing the root node of the document "as text/string" rather than the complete xml document. In pseudo code:
httpRequest.Content.AsString := xmldoc.RootNode.AsString; vs httpRequest.Content.AsString := xmldoc.AsString; i.e. It may not be your HTTP code or whatever components you are using per se (it is highly unlikely that the HTTP component is deliberately and selectively checking for xml content and then doing a surgical strike to cleanly remove the prolog from that xml), but rather the code that assembles the request to send via that HTTP component is not getting the xml in quite the correct fashion, despite the actual source xml "dom" itself being correct and complete. I hope that makes sense. :) On 5 October 2012 09:39, Jeremy Coulter <[email protected]> wrote: > Yip, its definitly there.
