Unable to create a project with the API

I'm following the example under "Create a new project" here: http://help.lighthouseapp.com/kb/api/projects
While example says to use GET, that seems like a typo and I'm using POST just like with other API objects. Here's the command I'm running:

curl -X POST https://MY_SUBDOMAIN.lighthouseapp.com/projects.xml -H 'X-LighthouseToken: MY_TOKEN' -d "<project><archived type="boolean">false</archived><name>Foo</name><public type="boolean">false</public></project>"

I get back:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<errors>
  <error>Name can't be blank</error>
</errors>

The project name is in the XML string I'm posting. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug on the API? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

   Hey Martin,

   Append this to the curl POST call:

    -H 'Content-type: application/xml'
   

   and it should all work. We've modified the docs accordingly. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
