Hi, you might be getting into that whole web-services thing, take a look at SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol):
http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP/
That should give you what you need to know, or at least give you a direction to head in.

I agree with James. You should look into SOAP. This is a new protocol that is being preached by the technical evangelists and it is an open standard.

Since an XML document is infact a text document, you can either send it as a part of the request or as an attachment in a multi-part request. But SOAP is the way to go.
