title: How do I access the body content of a POST in Grails?
body: <p>I'm trying to read the body content of a Grails request and it's mapping the request to the params even though I've commented out the grails.mime.types. I've also tried setting grails.mime.types to and empty map and it's still mapping.</p>
  
  <p>The body content is xml and when Grails maps it, the key ends up being "&lt;?xml version". Unfortunately, the system sending the POST is setting the content-type to <em>application/x-www-form-urlencoded</em>. I don't have control over them changing it.</p>
  
  <p>I'm running Grails 1.2.1.</p>
  
  <p>I've also tried setting format="xml" in my UrlMappings and adding the form content type to the xml mime.types but that didn't help either. And when I try to access the request.reader, it's empty.</p>
