How to return XML string in http POST

[Santi]

In POST(self), I read a xml file and modify some of the attributes and do these things: cherrypy.response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/soap+xml;charset=UTF-8' cherrypy.response.headers['Content-Length'] = len(data) cherrypy.response.body = data cherrypy.log("response body is: %s" % cherrypy.response.body) When the client calls, it won't get the body. curl and the actual client wait for few seconds and returns this: curl: (18) transfer closed with 4018 bytes remaining to read Not sure if I am doing the right thing to send the data back to the client. I took wireshark trace and I am not seeing any data getting sent out from the server. It seems data is NOT written to the socket. Can someone please suggest, how to write xml document in POST?

[Michiel Overtoom]

I do it like this:

@expose("somename.xml")
def somename_xml(self):
content = get_some_xml_data()
cherrypy.response.headers["Content-Type"] = "text/xml; charset=utf-8"
return content

CherryPy will determine the Content-Length automatically by itself.
