The post processor doesn't support XML at this point.  However, you do not 
need to use it: you can just take the stream of data you get from the access 
handler callback and feed it into your XML parser directly.  Hacking the post 
processor to support XML is likely to be unnecessarily tricky and you might 
not be able to map full XML to the PostProcessor API anyway.

Finally, you don't have to worry about chunked encoding, any chunking will 
have been taken out by MHD before the access handler callback.  So just giving 
the upload data to your XML lexer should do.

Happy hacking,
