Yes, I did mean '=' rather than ':'. I have been doing too much JSON
lately...
Here is an example of the output from 'str(request.POST)':
<QueryDict: {u'<?xml version': [u'"1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>\r\n<order-
state-change-notification xmlns="http://checkout.google.com/schema/2";
serial-number="707751054951378-00005-1">\r\n <new-fulfillment-order-
state>NEW</new-fulfillment-order-state>\r\n <new-financial-order-
state>CHARGEABLE</new-financial-order-state>\r\n <previous-
fulfillment-order-state>NEW</previous-fulfillment-order-state>\r\n
<previous-financial-order-state>REVIEWING</previous-financial-order-
state>\r\n <timestamp>2009-11-26T14:39:21.900Z</timestamp>\r\n
<google-order-number>707751054951378</google-order-number>\r\n</order-
state-change-notification>\r\n\r\n']}>
Sorry about the lack of formatting but trying to format a mix of
object notation and XML looks rather weird however you do it.
'request.POST.items()' will give you much the same nonsense. I need to
get at POST before Django tries to interpret it.
Thanks.
