Receiving an http post.

I've got a 3rd party system that can be configured to post
XML files via
http posts.

This sort of thing is a bit over my head. How do I receive
an http post?

How about setup an HttpHandler which handles the post.

The posted data will be on the Request - try something
like:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

XmlDocument incomingXML = new XmlDocument();

incomingXML.Load(Request.InputStream);
...
}

An HttpHandler is probably the correct way to go.

However a quicker way to see if it will work is to create a
standard ASP.Net
website / project, and to create a normal ASPX page.

>From here you should be able to access data sent to the
page as POST data
like this:

Request["SomeFieldName"];


If you don't know what field name the 3rd party app is
sending the data as,
you can loop through the Request.Form.Keys collection to see
if any of them
look like the one you want.
