document list api create failed - google-docs-api

Question

The request below fails and I am not able to figure out why, any insights?
var atom = ["<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>",
'<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:docs="http://schemas.google.com/docs/2007">',
'<category scheme="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#kind"',
' term="http://schemas.google.com/docs/2007#document"/>',
'<title>', titleDoc, '</title>',
'</entry>'].join('');
xhr.open('POST', URI , true);
xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-type', 'application/atom+xml');
//xhr.setRequestHeader('GData-Version', '3.0');
xhr.setRequestHeader('X-Upload-Content-Length', '0');
xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'OAuth ' + google.getAccessToken());
xhr.send(atom);
This is the request/response packet from the servers

Answer 1

You can use simple upload to create an empty file, just replace your url with https://docs.google.com/feeds/default/private/full and uncomment the GData-Version header.
Another option (recommended) would be to use the files.insert method of the new Google Drive API instead.
