I am using Ajax to send XML to an action in one of my controllers. In  
Firefox I can see that the XML is being sent. The Content-Type is text/  
xml. This is the XML I am sending:

\<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?\> 09/26/07 Chris Griffin 123 Main St. Anytown MA (201) 555-1234 true 

Looking at the request var. I can see that RAW\_POST\_DATA =\> “\<\>”. However it doesn’t show up in params. The action is getting  
called. Isn’t rails supposed to recognize the XML and create a hash  
from it?
