HTTP POST Request with XML file in

Question

Hi @ all,
I would like to send an HTTP Request with an XML File in the body to an SAP System
I have the target URL and the a XML File.
Now the question is. Is it possible to use something like the HTTP_POST FuBa to send an url post request with an xml file?
If yes can anybody give me a hint?
I have a php script which exactly do this coding. But to integrate it all in one system it is necessary to transform it into ABAP and call it there.
// compose url and request and call send function
function test($productID, $categoryID) {
     // create url
     $PIhost = "XXX.wdf.sap.corp";
     $PIport = "50080";
     $PIurl = "/sap/xi/adapter_plain";
     $PIurl .= "?sap-client=800";
     $PIurl .= "&service=XXX";
     $PIurl .= "&namespace=XXX";
     $PIurl .= "&interface=Frontend_Interface";
     $PIurl .= "&qos=EO";
     $PIurl .= "&sap-user=XXX";
     $PIurl .= "&sap-password=XXX";
     // create xml
     $request = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n";
     $request .="<n1:FrontendInbound_MessageType xmlns:n1=\"http://crmpiebay.com\">\n";
     $request .= "\t<FrontendInbound>\n";
     $request .= "\t\t<ProductName/>\n";
     $request .= "\t\t<ProductCategory>".$categoryID."</ProductCategory>\n";
     $request .= "\t\t<ProductID>".$productID."</ProductID>\n";
     $request .= "\t\t<MessageID/>\n";
     $request .= "\t</FrontendInbound>\n";
     $request .= "</n1:FrontendInbound_MessageType>";
     // send http request
     postToHost($PIhost, $PIport, $PIurl, $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"]."/".$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"], $request);
// send post request to PI server
function postToHost($host, $port, $path, $referer, $data_to_send) {
  $fp = fsockopen($host, $port);
  if($fp) {
       $res="";
       fputs($fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.1\r\n");
       fputs($fp, "Host: $host\r\n");
       fputs($fp, "Referer: $referer\r\n");
       fputs($fp, "Content-type: text/plain\r\n");
       fputs($fp, "Content-length: ". strlen($data_to_send) ."\r\n");
       fputs($fp, "Connection: close\r\n\r\n");
       fputs($fp, $data_to_send);
       while(!feof($fp)) {
           $res .= fgets($fp, 128);
       fclose($fp);
       return $res;
Would be great if anybody could give me a hint how to solve such a HTTP Post request with XML body data.
Thanks in advance.
Chris
