What version of Ethereal are you using, and what is the Content-Type 
header in the entity-header in the POST request?

Recent versions of Ethereal have an XML dissector that will at least 
indent the XML text to show nesting and split the text into lines; I 
don't know whether that's convenient enough for you.  If the 
Content-Type is registered in Ethereal as one to be dissected as XML, 
the body of the POST methods in question should be displayed using the 
XML dissector.
