Sharepoint 2010 uploading a xml form to document library

Question

I am trying to upload a xml document generated from an infopath 2010 form to a document library. The code is shown below

using (SPSite site = new SPSite(this.Context.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri))
                {  
                    sb.AppendLine("site URL : " + site.Url);
                    SPWeb web = site.RootWeb;
                    //SPWeb web = SPContext.Current.Site.RootWeb;
                    sb.AppendLine("Web URL : " + web.Url);      
                    SPDocumentLibrary docLib = web.Lists["Supplier Requests Library"] as SPDocumentLibrary;            
                    string destUrl = docLib.RootFolder.Url + "/" + countryName + "/" + supplierCategory + "/" + supplierNumber + " " + supplierName + ".xml";
                    sb.AppendLine("destination URL : " + destUrl);                      
                    web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
                    SPFile destFile = docLib.RootFolder.Files.Add(destUrl.Trim(), document, true,"",false);
                    destFile.Update();
                    docLib.Update();           
                    web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;                     
                    sb.AppendLine("document uploaded successfully");
                }

I get the form submission failed error, but when i check the library i have my xml document uploaded succesfully. The error was :

System.Threading.ThreadAbortException: Thread was being aborted.


at System.Threading.Thread.AbortInternal()
   at System.Threading.Thread.Abort(Object stateInfo)
   at System.Web.HttpResponse.End()
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SPUtilityInternal.SendResponse(HttpContext context, Int32 code, String strBody)
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SPUtility.HandleAccessDenied(HttpContext context)

   at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPList.Update(Boolean bFromMigration)
   at SupplierWebService.SubmitFormData(Byte[] document)
System.Threading.ThreadAbortException: Thread was being aborted.
   at SupplierWebService.SubmitFormData(Byte[] document)
   at SupplierWebService.SubmitFromData(XmlDocument document)

I ran the code with elevated privileges to get over this error and was successful but now the created by field shows System account for every document created, and i cannot filter the data to generate a view to show the documents created by current logged in user.

Please suggest some work arounds to get over this issue. Thanks in advance!

Do not call doclib.Update(). You are not changing any list metadata, you are adding data.

Also, why are you turning on unsafe updates?
