The vendor will tell YOU what he will send for a reply.

You: http_url_post
Him: OK

time passes...

Him: connect to your HTTP server and send the XML data to you.
You: wait until all the XML data is on your machine and process it.

It all depends on what the vendor's spec says he wants you to do. 
Don't confuse the two responses you'll be getting from the vendor. 
The first response will be in the same transaction/connection as your
'http_url_post' and may be something as simple as OK.

THEN, he will connect to your HTTP server (is what it sounds like)
where you will have a program that handles his XML data.

Basically, you need to find out from the vendor what the sequence of
events is.  Get a sample transaction if at all possible.  That will
help you iron out the details.
