sending xml data from salesforce to external server using http post request (Restful API).

hi every one, need ur help

 

When i m sending the hard code xml data through http,in response i m getting the status is ok n status code is 200,but the xml data is going to the external server in some encoded form.I m not using any encoding(like UTF-8) in my code,but still the external server getting xml in encoded form. 

 

Can any one tell me,how to remove this problm,cos if the external server receives the correct xml format data it will response back to correct value,for which i m looking.

 

 My Apex Snippet is like following,
 
 HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
        HttpResponse res = new HttpResponse();
        Http http = new Http();
       
        string test = ' <some xml format data>';
        req.setEndpoint('http://www.my-end-point.aspx');
        req.setMethod('POST');
        req.setBody(test;)
         req.setCompressed(true); // otherwise we hit a limit of 32000
 
        try {
            res = http.send(req);
        } catch(System.CalloutException e) {
            System.debug('Callout error: '+ e);
            System.debug(res.getBody());
        }

I'm not actually sure, but I'll take a guess and assume it's becuase the data you are sending is compressed it?

No singh...I am not getting any error.I am not using compressed also.My question was how did you send xml data?
I hardcoded and tested.It works.Now want to make it dynamic.I am working on std object account.Account should be created in my third party tool when type is customer.Rest cases it shouldnt.
how can i do this??

Thank you
