Here's the problem. I have an XML document I am trying to POST via a form to another server. This other server is expecting the content type to be 'text/xml'. So of course I set the form attribute to ENCTYPE="text/xml", but the other server is still indicating that the content type is "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" (the default value).
Here is my simple form: 
<html><head></head>
<title>some simple form</title>

<form ENCTYPE="text/xml" action="SOME_URL" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" value='MY_XML_FORM'>
<input type=submit name=submit value='SUBMIT'></form>
</body>
</html>

Thanks a bunch. This is driving me crazy.
