Note Submitter: slave at codegrunt dot com ---- In case this saves anyone else some frustration, the "Content-Length" header decides what will be returned for "php://input". If you leave it out while testing, nothing will be returned for "php://input" or $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA. For example, if you are trying to test out a custom SOAP server app and you send a request like this without a Content-Length set: ----- POST /soap_service.php HTTP/1.1 Authorization: Basic abcdefgh User-Agent: SOAPy McSOAPclient Host: example.com Accept: */* MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:cat="http://com.soapy/foobar"><soapenv:Header/><soapenv:Body><foo:ManageBar><foo:task id="1"><foo:getBar type="helloworld"/></foo:task></foo:ManageBar></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope> ---- "php://input" will always return and empty string.
