Matt - Appreciate the help. When I tried to run the getRawPost function on the request object I am told that Zend_Controller_Request_Http doesn't have a getRawPost function. I looked at the Http.php file under Zend/Controller/Request and I found that the only getRaw function it has is getRawBody.
It doesn't look like this function getRawPost is supported. Is that correct? I tried getRawBody instead and that gave me the posted JSON data.
