Upload XML data using XSQL and HTTP Post ?

Question

Upload XML data using XSLQ and HTTP Post: is that possible ?
An xsql contains an <xsql:insert-request table="aTable">
The XML data file follows the ROWSET/ROW paradigm.
What is the HTML form to upload the xml file to the XSQL ?
I tried:
<form action="myXSQL.xsql" method="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
XML data file to upload: <input type="file">
<input type="submit">
</form>
But the answer of myXSQL is:
<xsql-status action="xsql:insert-request" result="No posted document to process" />
Where is the problem ?
Thank you.

Hello,
You are posting your XML file as a parameter therefore you should use the <xsql:insert-params/> tag, not the <xsql:insert-request/>. The insert-request can only handle data not posted via a parameter.
Usage:
<form action="myXSQL.xsql" method="GET" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
XML data file to upload: <input type="file" name="myXML">
<input type="submit">
</form>
in combination with
<xsql>
<xsql:insert-params name="myXML" table="your table"/>
</xsql>
2 remarks:
I was not able to succesfully POST the form. The answer was <xsql-status action="xsql:insert-request" result="No posted document to process" />. With GET is was succesfull.
Second, if you use MSInternet explorer 5 or higher use could post the XML directly (not aw parameter) using an ActiveX object.
