how to extract the "body" of a HTTP_Request2 request?

just getting started with the HTTP_Request2 class, and i want to create a POST request that passes potentially lots of data as uploaded content. from the class definition in Request2.php, i can see: /** * Sets the request body * * @param string Either a string with the body or filename containing body * @param bool Whether first parameter is a filename * @return HTTP_Request2 * @throws HTTP_Request2_Exception */ public function setBody($body, $isFilename = false) ... snip ... fair enough but, once i send off the POST request to the remote PHP file, how do i access that "body" content? i'm sure this is just a trivial POST issue. i can examine $_SERVER['CONTENT_LENGTH'] to see the *length* of the body, but i don't know what variable to use to get the content itself. help? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
