The "convenience module" is only for simple requests. Do it as follows:

> let get_and_print url  =
>    let s = http_post url [("","<request> <token>mytoken</token>
> </request>")] in

let get_and_print url =
  let msg = new post_raw url "<request> <token>mytoken</token> </request>" in
  (msg # request_header `Base) # update_field
     "content-type" "application/xml";
  let p = new pipeline in
  p # add msg;
  p # run();
  print_string msg#response_body#value
;;
