RE: Exist REST Problems

Alex,
        I believe Hank has posted a question on the Exist mailing list
regarding this, I also found this archived email
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=36645468, which states
that it's the default response (Not sure why). I was wondering why an xforms
submission can't accept this content type and force a change into xml, and
only then throw an error if it isn't well formed?
