Daniel Roseman suggests a very simple and easy to implement solution. Malcolm Tredinnick explained the usage of request.POST and request.raw_post_data. I think I would like to keep it pure and go towards implementing django views that will access and process request.raw_post_data. The AIR app will do an HTTP POST that will contain xml in the body of the message.
Just wondering, if this were to be done purely in django, how would one go about doing a pure HTTP POST request through a django template? Or am I confusing two tangentially separated ideas? Regards.
