You need to use action=import, not action=upload to import files. Uploading the file as described there does not mean uploading it with action=upload, but uploading/embedding it in an HTTP request to action=import.
Thanks, but can you give me the exact format and preferably a sample request for doing this? It's not clear from the documentation.
It's done the exact same way as uploading a file with action=upload, except that the name of the parameter is 'xml', not 'file'. I've updated the documentation for import [1] and upload [2] to mention this.
