Testing the code on your server

• On your endpoint make sure you enabled the XMLRPC backend and the 'user' resource including the 'register' action.
• Using one of these tools, POST the code to your resource's URL (http://mydrupalsite/foo/user), with 'content-type' being set to 'text/xml' or 'application/xml'.
• In case you aliased the 'user' resource, both the POST URL and the <methodName> need to be adapted.
• As both username and email address are unique, in order to repeat the test, you need to replace these values in the POST code by other test values.
