I still don't get what you are doing. I'm talking about HTTP. Here's
what a sensible RESTful interaction looks like:
GET /some/resource -> response:
200 OK
Content-Type: application/xml
<xml>some doc</xml>
Given that, to update with PUT you do:
PUT /some/resource
Content-Type: application/xml
<xml>updated version of doc</xml>
What kinds of HTTP requests are you talking about?
