[OSM-talk] OSM XAPI - help!

[elvin ibbotson]

I am making this request here because I am not sure who looks after  
the xapi code. I have posted a question on the xapi talk page on the  
wiki but it may not get noticed.

I am using my limited skills as a PHP novice to access subsets of  
data via xapi for conversion to a compact binary format, but the  
query format (eg. osmxapi.hypercube.telascience.org/api/0.5/way 
[highway=motorway|trunk][bbox=....] delivers the data as an  
attachment (data.osm) and I do not know how to access this using PHP.  
My script is derived from those by Adam Boardman and Paul Fox for the  
binary data proposal which use the OSM API and expect the XML data to  
be in the body of the HTML rather than as an attached file. But the  
standard API is limited to 0.25 degrees and does not allow the  
content filtering offered by xapi. I would appreciate some advice  
from the xapi expert(s) on how to...

get the data bundled into the body or...

tell xapi where to save the data file attachment or...

save/open/read the data file using PHP
