Ok, it was in fact precisely that. When I do a :

cgi.params.to_s

I get the correctly formatted XML message, but when there is an & in the 
message

cgi.params.to_s

this produces an erratic output.

This is of course because:

The method params() returns a hash of all parameters in the request as 
name/value-list pairs, where the value-list is an Array of one or more 
values. The CGI object itself also behaves as a hash of parameter names 
to values, but only returns a single value (as a String) for each 
parameter name.

The output is therefore a fluke that's solely based on the fact that 
there is only one parameter.

Now my FINAL question to all the Ruby gurus:

* How do I get the POST-ed message body without any clever splitting 
into key/value pairs!?
