What do you mean by "packet" here? That might be two or more TCP segments, but it appears to be a *single* HTTP POST request. It says
Content-Encoding: gzip
which means that the data in the POST request is gzipped; that's why what comes after
Content-Length: 190
and the blank line following the Content-Length line is a bunch of binary data.
What does Wireshark show in the packet summary pane? If it's doing reassembly of HTTP headers and data, it should show an HTTP POST, and if you click on that, it should show the entire packet - and possibly even unzip the compressed data and show the XML.

There are options for the HTTP dissector (select Edit -> Preferences, open up the Protocols list, and select HTTP) for "Reassemble HTTP headers spanning multiple TCP segments" and "Reassemble HTTP bodies spanning multiple TCP segments"; make sure those options, and "Uncompress entity bodies", are all on (checked). (Also make sure "Reassemble chunked transfer-coded bodies" is on, although that won't affect that *particular* HTTP message.)
