You're using a POST to fake a GET - just make the Content-type text/xml
(or application/xml, I forget) and call a.send("<add>....</add>");
You may need the encodeURIComponent, not sure.
The stream.body feature allows you to do an HTTP GET that has a stream
within it, but you are already doing a POST so it isn't needed.
