Sending XML data via HTTP POST to IHttpHandler causes HttpRequestValidationException

Question

I\'m writing an IHttpHandler implementation that will receive XML data sent through a regular HTTP POST from another website. Here\'s a prototype of the implementation:

Answer 1

Just modify the web.config like this:

   <location path="Handlers/MyHandler.ashx">
      <system.web>
         <httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" />
      </system.web>
   </location>

Answer 2

As far as I know, you just need to encode that XML with entities.

I mean that < should be & lt; or > & gt;, and so on.

EDIT: I found that this is a duplicate of: How can Request Validation be disabled for HttpHandlers?

Try this!! :)
