[daisy] HTTP interface: add collections?

[COELMONT, Geert]

Hi,
I've looked at the documentation for the Daisy repository HTTP
interface. It describes nicely how to create new documents via
http://.../repository/document
The details on how to add other components (notably collections) is
missing, but i thought it would be similar, just simpler because a
Collection doesn't have as many attributes. 
For some reason i can't get it to accept my XML form. Can anyone please
tell
- if it's possible to create new Collections this way
- if perhaps my XML is lacking something

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<ns:collection
   xmlns:ns="http://outerx.org/daisy/1.0"
   name="test collection">
</ns:collection>

curl -s --basic --user name:pw --form xml=@newcoll.xml
http://localhost:9263/repository/collection

The answer I keep getting is an XmlException "Content is not allowed in
prolog." which seems to be a generic error message if anything is wrong.
I got many of those when initially trying to add new Documents (but i
got that to work in the end).

Thanks

Geert
