	NSDictionary *headerFieldsDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:@"text/xml; charset=utf-8", @"Content-Type", nil];
	
	[theRequest setHTTPBody:[message dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
	[theRequest setAllHTTPHeaderFields:headerFieldsDict];
	[theRequest setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
	
	// create the connection with the request and start loading the data
	NSURLConnection *theConnection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:theRequest delegate:self];
	
	if (theConnection == nil)
	{
		NSLog(@"Failed to create the connection");
	}
}

Server side code:
// PHP

$file = base64_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"));

// ASP

StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(Page.Request.InputStream);
string file = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String(sr.ReadToEnd()));
