I did the above.  I found out that due to the data (including the envelope)
being posted, the following is what the server was actually getting:

----------------------------

With 'sXMLString' being the posted form variable and everything
else being it's value.  So I determined what I needed to do was
strip out the 'sXMLString=' and urldecode the rest of it prior to
it getting passed to the soap_server::service() function.  And, for
the most part, that is working allowing the data to be transferred
via regular HTTP POST or through the NuSOAP client class.

What I'm finding now is that for some reason, the soap_server::service()
function is turning the XML into an array prior to passing it to my
registered function, which is expecting it to be in XML format.  The
data is in XML format when submitted to the NuSOAP server by
a NuSOAP client, but for some reason it's transforming it into an
array when submitted via HTTP post.  The following is the debug
data.  As you can see, when it does the "var_dump()", the data is
an array.
