It certainly isn't.

No. In contrary, the NUL character is explicitly invalid in any XML document.

I don't know how your C library works. If it is parsing raw HTTP
requests, then it is wrong. If the C library assumes, for example,
that *you* are parsing the HTTP requests data, delegate it to the
library and terminate the data by adding a NUL character, then that
would work.
