Re: Extra characters being placed on XML prior to send

We are using Ethereal to sniff what is coming and going from port 80 on both
servers. The encoding is UTF-8.

OK, so that's what I'm not getting. How are you translating 43 30 30 30 to C0 00? They are obviously not the same. I'd expect to maybe see a BOM in there, but the length doesn't match either (if it was an UTF-8 BOM you'd be seeing EF BB BF instead).

Can you show us a complete disassembled package? (including the whole HTTP request, if possible).
