Example
The following mapping calls a Web service that expects unstructured text submitted via POST requests.
In the mapping above, the input text is supplied as parameter to the mapping, with the help of a simple input component, see Supplying Parameters to the Mapping. The string received as input is converted to binary form with the help of the charset-encode function, using the utf-8 encoding. The mime-entity function takes the binary content as argument and returns the body of the request (the MIME entity), which is mapped to the Body input of the Web service call.
