How to Create an XML Application

HTTP Post
In addition to initiating a request to an XML application from the Services menu,
an HTTP server can push an XML object to the phone via HTTP Post. The phone
parses this object immediately upon receipt and displays the information to the
screen.
The HTTP post packet must contain an "xml=" line in the message body. The
string to parse is located after the equals sign in the message. HTML forms that
post objects to the phone must use a field named "xml" to send their data. See the
following examples (Example 1 and Example 2) for a sample HTTP post packet
and php source code.
Example 1:
POST / HTTP/1.1
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg,
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint,
application/vnd.ms-excel, application/msword,
application/x-shockwave-flash, */*

Note: The XML object cannot be larger than 2150 bytes. The phone
denies any posts larger than this limit.
