For my purposes, I think I will have to do it Allan's second method. But,
the docs say that:

"This POST is a normal application/x-www-form-urlencoded kind (and libcurl
will set that Content-Type by default when this option is used)"

How can I change the Content-type to 'application/atom+xml' ?

Thanks folks!

(Please refer earlier post for code background/context information)
