Hi I have a problem with a customer's XML being submitting  to me in a
non-well-format XML.
They said that there are 18 other partners who has been able to tweak the
XML to make it work.
So I guess here is my question, in ASP, when working with XML, how do you
handle non-well-formed XML documents on the "listener" response side?

Here's the scenerio:

Customer post XML Data to us (non-well-formed XML)
ie: <sites>
    <mytag1>http://sonny.com/</mytag1>
    <mytag2><![CDATA[http://google.com?search=hellow+world&language=EN]]></mytag2>
    <mytag3>http://mysite.com/helloworld/?myvar1=123&myvar2=abc</mytag3>
    </sites>

Looking at the XML data above the mytag1 and mytag2 are fully W3C XML
conformed XML syntax, however the mytag3 is NOT. there are 2 tags in XML
that are considered illegal characters in XML data, the "&" and the "<". In
our case it's the "&" that's giving us grief.

Ok continue on, the customer sends this messed up format to me and I open it
up with the MSXML DOM object and it bombs out. Because it can't load the
REQUEST XML.

Anyone know how to PULL the REQUEST value to a STRING variable? here are
some sample codes I've tried.
sample 1.
    Set X = server.createobject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
    X.async = False
    X.Load(REQUEST)
    strXML = X.xml
    Response.ContentType="text/xml"
    Response.Write strXML

Sample 2.
    strXML = cstr(REQUEST)
    Response.ContentType="text/xml"
    Response.Write strXML

Both doesn't work with the non-well-formed XML sent, Sample 2 doesn't work
regardless, however Sample 1 does work with a well structured XML document.
Anyone know how I can pull the XML from the REQUEST so that I can manipulate
the string and format it so that it is parsable by the XMLDOM?

Thanks,

Sonny
