post entry to IBM Connections board return existing entries with no expected headers or new entry

Question

Trying to Post Messages to IBM Connections using http POST method using c#.

ATOM formatted Message Entry Message XML:

<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
  <category scheme="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/sn/type" term="entry"/>
  <category scheme="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/sn/message-type" term="simpleEntry"/>
  <content type="text">I posted this from C# posted at :11:43 AM</content>
</entry>

URL is http://--ServerName--/profiles/atom/mv/theboard/entries.do?key=e028cbd3-2126-455f-88b2-7e2cb4971e54

This is from the Service Document where rel="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/sn/mv/theboard"

I am requesting the service document, looking for the above URL depending on the user (Me for testing).

I am getting the list fine but when I POST, I am still only getting the list with standard headers but not the headers listed in the docs.

Here are the returned headers:

X-LConn-Auth :: false
X-UA-Compatible :: IE=EmulateIE7

Keep-Alive :: timeout=20, max=200
Connection :: Keep-Alive

Ive also encountered this issue before. I have made a ruby script to update the status to Lotus Connections. See details here: How to update user status message to IBM Connections (Lotus connection API)?
