Sorry, I was mistaken - what little content was there was actually another
form element which didn't belong. Looks like my XMLHTTP test app was the
problem. I think I have it working with my second approach below, however I
won't know for sure until the client "tests" it. Needless to say, they
expect it to work right the first time (sigh).

Thanks for the quick responses!

This is the approach I had in mind. Then URL-decode it
(URLDecoder.decode(...)). Why is it truncated?
