Post as XML woes

Is it broke in 1.1 on 4.0.3? I can't get it to work, nor can I seem to locate any documentation about using the option. For my test form, upon submitted I have 2 actions, post to url & post xml. The post to url works fine, but can't get post xml to work at all. I mapped the same fields and I even uploaded an xslt thinking I needed one.

Here's my test xslt, but if you look at the screenie - I see no indication that I even have it attached after clicking the update button at the bottom of the modal.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:user="urn:my-scripts"
exclude-result-prefixes="xsl msxsl user">

    <xsl:output method="xml" media-type="text/html" doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    doctype-system="DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"
    cdata-section-elements="script style"
    indent="yes"
    encoding="utf-8"/>

    <xsl:param name="records" />
   
    <xsl:template match="/">

 <xsl:copy-of select="$records" />
    
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I'm lost and frustrated to no end. What do I need to do. My soft.php is simply (for testing):

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
<?php
if(sizeof($_POST) > 0)
{     
  $sendto = "[email protected]";
  $subject = "Soft test";
   $message = "";
    foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
       $message .= "-------------------------\n$key ==> $value\n";
    }
 $header = "From: webmaster@".$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"]."\n";
    $header .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
   
  // Send
   
  ini_set("sendmail_from","webmaster@".$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"]);
    
  if (mail($sendto,$subject,$message,$header))
  {
  echo 'Mail sent!';
   } else
    {
  echo 'Error! Mail was not sent.';
    };
    
}

var_dump($_POST);
?>
<form method="post">
<textarea name="test" style="width:90%;margin:20px auto;height:200px;">
</textarea>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

So what steps do I need to take to get this working if it really is a working workflow feature in Contour. TIA!

@Jon, could you update to do latest version of Contour, there you should be able to see if the xsltfile property has a file attached.

You can find the upgrade archive and instructions here: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/umbraco-pro/contour

Also could you check the umbracoLog ( table in the db) if you see any entries related to a failure of the workflow ?

Cheers,
Tim

The update did fix the xslt attachment issue but it still doesn't work - in order to meet the deadline we are developing a custom workflow, but I still want to figure this out before I give up on it entirely. On my php page, I have anything posting send me a "hello world" just in case it was failing and it tests fine performing a "post to url", but "post xml to url" does nothing. Ugh.
