That data is ready to be passed to the server.  Just put it as payload
in some transport and send it along.  See
tools/libxen/test/test_bindings.c.  Also FYI, here is example
(simplified) from xen cim providers

static int call_func(const void *data, size_t len, void *user_handle,
                     void *result_handle, xen_result_func result_func)
{
   xen_utils_session *s = (xen_utils_session *)user_handle;
   char *read_buf = NULL;
   int ccode = 0;
  
   /* Send data to xend xmlrpc server. */
   if (!xen_utils_xend_post(s->socket, (char *)data, len))
      return -1;

   /* Read response from xend. */
   ccode = xen_utils_xend_read(s->socket, &read_buf);

   /* Check for errors and handle appropriately */
 
    /* Call result_func to process response */
      result_func(read_buf, strlen(read_buf), result_handle);
 
   /* Free buffer containing result */
   if (read_buf)
      free(read_buf);
   return ccode;
}

Jim
