Due to the way the underlying HTTP library works, we need to spool the
XML request to a file before sending it to the server. What you see is
the progress in writing the XML file (I think). File content is sent
in separate requests, I'm not sure about the property changes. You
would be able to see that with ethereal or a tool like it which
captures HTTP traffic.

I'm sorry, but this is going further than my current active knowledge.
I'd need to reseach some more to get you exact answers on the
remainder of your questions, but I have neither code nor the tools
mentioned handy (I'm on holidays...)

Sorry again.

bye,

Erik.
