You are setting the type of you ajax call is set to POST while the way you are doing it in the url parameter using query string is done for GET requests.

The concatenated values are passed when we use GET request, you need to pass it using the data property then it will get passed to controller action as POST.

so change your code like below to make it work:

$.ajax({
         url: '/AppVersionProtocolMethod/Test',
         type: 'POST',
         data : { xmlData : textdata}
         success: function (datas) {

         }

     });

Hope it helps you.
