Content-Type URLConnection

I need to set my content type to be XML. I used the following:

HttpURLConnection urlConn = null;

URL u = new URL( url );

urlConn = (HttpURLConnection)u.openConnection();

urlConn.setDoOutput( true );

urlConn.setDoInput( true );

urlConn.setRequestMethod("POST");

urlConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","text/xml");

Why then does urlConn.getContentType() return text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1?
