Hi,

I was actually thinking of createNode which is a PUT. Is "text/xml" correct? What about "application/xml"?

	Cheers,

It should be 'text/xml'.  I'd say correcting it in the document would be sufficient.  I'll make a note to fix these examples in 2.1.

The examples show: application/x-www-form-urlencoded which is what curl defaults to but this may not be true for other clients. Is this something that we should note/address in VOSpace 2.1 or least state that any content type is allowed/must be supported?
