The SOAPAction header is only an experimental feature (from the XForms 1.1 
public draft), so it's not included in our trunk builds -- I think we should, 
but including stuff that's not standardized is "problematic".

So if you want to test it, you need to run a Firefox trunk build and 
xforms.xpi trunk build, or do your own build of the xforms.xpi for Firefox 
1.5 that includes the patch AND set the preference 
"xforms.enableExperimentalFeatures" to true.

This is the bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309442
It also includes a testcase, that worked last time I tried it :)

I would like to include experimental features in the branch (firefox 1.5) 
builds, but still package them so that it's obvious that it's experimental 
and they might go away or change at any given time. But I do not know if that 
will ever happen.
