one minor problem:

you're sending text/xml as content type.
don't do that.
send application/xml.

(or application/xml+whatever, i am not sure about those xml+something
formats...)
text/xml is more&less deprecated.
because of encoding problems.

see:
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/07/21/dive.html

in short:
if you use text/xml,
then the encoding of the xml file will be:
-the encoding given in the charset param of the Content-Type HTTP header
-or us-ascii
it ignores the xml-encoding.

when usin application/xml, then it works ok.
