Treating the XML as a big binary blob (byte array, InputStream, whatever),
is much more desirable than your other options (query string and GET
voodoo), for reasons I recently documented at
http://skew.org/xml/misc/xml_vs_http/
SOAP and XML-RPC, as mentioned already, seem to provide good APIs. I've
not yet evaluated them for general purpose transmission of XML over
HTTP. I'd be interested to hear what you end up doing.
